PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Faculty of Business offers a doctoral program in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship. The Doctor of Philosophy program develops independent research skills and the ability to relate a specific research topic to a broad framework of knowledge. The PhD program places a major emphasis on independent inquiry, on the development of competence in research methodology and on the communication of research results.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Applicants are normally required to have completed a Master of Commerce (Honours) at a minimum standard of 2A or have completed an 8-semester Honours degree at 2A standard from an Australian university, or a qualification or combination of qualifications considered by the Research Committee to be equivalent.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Courses are likely to be required in the fields of research methods, statistics and the student’s discipline specialisation unless students can demonstrate substantial previous research experience. A program of study will be designed on an individual basis to ensure that students have the breadth and depth of skills required to develop independent research capabilities and to complete their dissertation on a timely basis.

SUPERVISION
Each student will be supervised by a committee of up to three School Members. The committee is responsible for approving the student’s dissertation proposal prior to the examination process.
The dissertation should be a major, substantially original, theoretical or empirical study of an issue or problem or phenomenon pertaining to the student’s major field of study. The School of Business maintains a ratio of doctoral student to staff of less than one-to-one, allowing students to work closely with staff and be exposed to the research activities of the staff and other students.

PROFESSIONAL OUTCOMES

The Doctor of Philosophy provides students with the research skills for academic careers in the University sector or for the role of researcher in business research-intensive organisations.
