    What is a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)?

    The Doctor of Philosophy is a highly regarded research degree, in which you will conduct independent research under the supervision and guidance of experts in their field.

The PhD is available to study on campus in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, offshore and online.
