PhD in Australia

Course overview

A doctorate of philosophy (PhD) involves choosing a specialisation and research on a subject that leads to new knowledge or re-interpretation of existing theories or approaches. Those who complete the course will develop a thorough understanding of the chosen field and its relevant methodologies, as well as the ability to evaluate existing norms critically and presenting them in a concise and clear way. While requirements for PhD programs vary between universities, students are usually required to hold a Master's degree with high academic standing to be considered.
