The PhD program kicks off with an orientation week, introducing you to core research principles, methods, and skills needed for doctoral-level work while demonstrating the high standards expected at this academic level. This foundation prepares you to dive straight into your individual research project. As you progress, tailored research training will further enhance your studies. You'll have regular meetings with your supervisors who will mentor you through the research journey. Formal progress evaluations help monitor your development and ensure adequate resources and assistance are provided for optimal learning outcomes.
Every PhD candidate must produce an original thesis that advances their field of study. The assessment consists of evaluating the written dissertation followed by an oral defense during the viva voce examination.
