Doctor of Philosophy - Faculty of Education

What is this course about?

The Doctor of Philosophy through the Faculty of Education can be studied in fields of education, exercise science, human movement or information studies. Candidates are provided with an excellent academic record and research skills with the opportunity to conduct research that will contribute to the knowledge base of their discipline.

The program consists entirely of completing an individual research program under the supervision of a team (usually two) appropriately qualified academics with expertise in the candidate’s chosen discipline.

Doctoral studies can be pursued through full-time or part-time by distance education or full-time on campus. All distance education students are expected to maintain contact with their supervision team.

The Faculty holds a three-day forum each year for all doctoral candidates and their supervisors. The forum provides all candidates with the opportunity to meet other candidates, members of the Faculty, and attend workshops on relevant topics. All candidates attending are required to give a short presentation on their research.

Course requirements

Candidates are required to present a seminar on their proposed research, usually within the first year of enrolment (in the first two years for part-time candidates) to confirm their candidature.  Following successful confirmation, the candidate will conduct the proposed research and submit the results of their investigation in the form of a thesis that will not exceed 100,000 words. Candidates  may also be required to present their work to the academic staff of the Faculty during their candidature.
