  • Candidates may be admitted to the PhD program after one year's full-time enrolment in a Masters by Research program, with the approval of the Faculty Postgraduate Affairs Committee.

Program Structure

This program involves a minimum of three years full-time study. Students undertake supervised research leading to the production of a thesis, which may include studio research.

The length of a doctoral thesis normally should not exceed 100,000 words of text and may be signifcantly less in cases where studio research forms part of the thesis. The thesis (including studio research, if applicable) must be submitted for examination within 4 years of full-time study.

Candiature is confirmed in the first year by demonstrating that a feasable research program appropriate for PhD level qualification has been established.

If candiature is confirmed, students may progress in the program and will be reviewed annually.

Details of the review process can be found in the Review Procedure Policy.
