Overview
The PhD (Integrated) is a four-year degree which integrates a traditional three-year PhD thesis with one-year of coursework, comprising generic research training and discipline-specific content into a single degree.
The coursework provides candidates with the opportunity to develop their research skills while allowing additional time to develop a detailed research topic, therefore providing greater certainty and better completion outcomes in the thesis. The coursework also allows candidates to take individual subjects in a specific discipline area, thereby providing a deeper level of content from which to draw potential research themes. International students intending to become university researchers and teachers in their home country will benefit from exposure to Australian teaching methods through the inclusion of these 'taught' coursework subjects.
The PhD Integrated is therefore ideal for applicants who aspire to graduate with a PhD and who:
- want a flexible program which includes a selection of 'taught' subjects included in a specific discipline area of their interest;
- need further time to develop a detailed research proposal; or
- need to develop their research training skills in order to demonstrate their capacity to undertake the major research thesis.
Entry Requirements
Applicants should have a minimum of four years of study at degree level, either a four-year Bachelor degree, or a Bachelor degree plus Masters by Coursework, with a minimum Credit average (65% or GPA 3.0 out of 4.0), or equivalent.
