Doctor of Philosophy

The research degree of Doctor of Philosophy is common to all faculties of the University, and is administered by the PhD and Scholarships Committee. The PhD is awarded for a thesis, which is judged to be a significant contribution to knowledge or understanding of the field of study. It is usually undertaken on a full time basis over three or four years, with a reduction in this time in the case of a candidate transferring from a Master's program in the same field. PhD may also undertaken part-time or by the external mode of study.
