This four-year program comprises 48 credit points of coursework and research methodology training, followed by 144 credit points (equivalent to 6 sessions full-time or part-time) dedicated to thesis research. The PhD curriculum is designed for aspiring academics and professionals seeking research-focused roles in both private and public sectors.
With support from a supervisory panel of at least two advisors, candidates will autonomously design and implement a research initiative culminating in an extensive 80,000-word thesis (or equivalent). The program empowers students to critically assess current scholarship, employing rigorous research methods to address pivotal questions in their disciplines. PhD graduates will produce novel, meaningful additions to their field's knowledge base and effectively share these contributions with both academic circles and the wider public.
