PhD (Social Sciences) 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 devise practical approaches for addressing real-world challenges.

Research-based graduate programs differ from other advanced degrees in that research constitutes at least two-thirds of the curriculum. While some coursework may be required, your primary focus will be producing a thesis under faculty supervision. This dissertation must represent, in the examiners' judgment, a significant original contribution to any field through novel discoveries, theoretical developments, or creative reinterpretations of existing knowledge. Additionally, it should showcase your ability to independently plan, execute, and conclude research projects.

During your academic journey, our university will provide necessary research tools and facilities, along with funding opportunities to participate in relevant domestic and international conferences.
