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 three-year 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. |
