DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY<br />
Course Code L03<br />
Interdisciplinary Studies<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
The Doctor of Philosophy is available for graduates of a relevant<br />
Bachelor degree with 2A Honours or better, or a relevant Master<br />
degree which has a substantial research component. The course<br />
consists of the preparation of a research proposal, the conduct of<br />
research, the preparation of a thesis, and participation in seminars<br />
and conferences. Although formal coursework is not a stipulated<br />
part of requirements, coursework may be required and will be<br />
assigned by the School on an individual basis.<br />
The candidate will be provided with an initial adviser and once<br />
the research proposal has been formally accepted a supervisory<br />
team will be appointed consisting of a principal supervisor<br />
assisted by at least one additional supervisor. The principal<br />
supervisor normally will be a staff member of the relevant<br />
School. Additional supervisors may be staff from within <strong>Edith</strong><br />
<strong>Cowan</strong> <strong>University</strong> or other universities, or may be from research<br />
institutes, government or industry.<br />
The Doctor of Philosophy (Interdisciplinary Studies) involves a<br />
three year full-time (or part-time equivalent) research program<br />
which culminates in the submission of a thesis.<br />
The interdisciplinary approach recognises that solutions to<br />
problems often rely on knowledge gained across traditional<br />
disciplines. In the selection of fields of research, students are<br />
encouraged to examine the broad perspective within which the<br />
problem lies and to adopt problem-solving techniques applicable<br />
across disciplines.<br />
Studies will be undertaken by research and thesis presentation.<br />
Candidates should be available for consultation with the<br />
supervisory team appointed. Students seeking to conduct research<br />
on an external basis will be required to reach agreement with the<br />
<strong>University</strong> on arrangements for supervision.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
The minimum admission requirement is a master degree or an<br />
honours degree (First Class or Second Class, Division A) or the<br />
equivalent in a relevant field from a recognised university.<br />
