PhD (Psychology) in Bentley Australia | Curtin University

As a PhD candidate, you'll explore uncharted territory by discovering new information, creating theoretical frameworks, or offering fresh perspectives on existing data and concepts. Your work will apply deep theoretical understanding to develop practical approaches for addressing real-world challenges.

Research-based graduate programs differ from other postgraduate studies because research must comprise at least two-thirds of the program. While some coursework may be required, your primary focus will be producing a thesis under the guidance of academic supervisors. This thesis must represent a significant, original contribution to knowledge in your field through novel discoveries, theoretical developments, or creative reinterpretations of existing information. It should also showcase your ability to independently plan, execute, and complete research projects.

During your studies, our faculties will provide necessary research tools and resources, along with funding support to participate in relevant conferences both locally and internationally.
