Course Information

Doctor of Philosophy

Effective from 01-JAN-2015 : Code L03

This interdisciplinary course consists of the preparation of a research proposal, the conduct of research, the preparation and submission of a thesis, and participation in seminars and conferences. Although formal coursework is not a stipulated part of requirements, coursework may be required and will be assigned by the appropriate school on an individual basis. The interdisciplinary approach recognises that solutions to problems often rely on knowledge gained across traditional disciplines. In the selection of fields of research, students are encouraged to examine the broad perspective within which the problem lies and to adopt problem-solving techniques applicable across disciplines.
