DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
Course Code 614
By Research
The Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology degrees are based upon
research in selected areas of faculty expertise. Candidates may be
accepted in the fields of community, environmental, clinical,
developmental, cognitive, forensic, biological and
geropsychology.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Normally the research-only degree will be completed over three
years of full-time study or the equivalent period of part-time
study. An initial supervisor will oversee the production of a thesis
proposal, and a supervisory panel will assist the development and
production of the student’s research. Students are required to
make satisfactory progress in each semester for their doctoral
thesis unit. Students with unsatisfactory progress will not be
allowed to remain in the course.
Coursework is not a stipulated course requirement in the threeyear
degree, but coursework may be required and could be
assigned by the School on an individual basis. Candidates are
expected to participate in proposal seminars.
The Doctor of Philosophy will culminate in the completion of a
thesis that makes a substantial contribution of original knowledge
in a specialist area of study.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Admission is available to graduates with a relevant Bachelor
degree with 2A Honours or higher, or a relevant Master of Arts,
Science or Psychology degree which has a substantial research
component. Admission also depends upon the availability of a
principal supervisor from the School of Psychology with expertise
in the field of inquiry.
