The Integrated Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology program is designed for research-oriented graduates seeking to deeply investigate a specialized psychology topic through rigorous research methodologies, complemented by coursework elements.
This four-year integrated PhD combines a conventional three-year doctoral dissertation with an initial year of coursework, merging broad research education with specialized subject matter into one comprehensive qualification. Candidates must complete all coursework requirements and attain at least 65% in each subject before progressing to the three-year research phase.
The program's first year focuses on coursework and developing research competencies, covering essential areas such as: research methods; literature evaluation, critical assessment or experimental work; along with specialized subjects or a preliminary research undertaking.
