Overview
The research involves a sustained, rigorous, and systematic approach to a relevant body of knowledge. It requires the preparation of a substantial thesis that presents the outcome of the research and places it in the broader framework of the discipline or field of study.
Features
- A History PhD thesis from University of Canterbury is required to make an original contribution to knowledge or understanding in the field of study, and to meet recognised international standards for such work.
Programme Structure
Research
- Prospective students should begin discussions with a potential Senior Supervisor well in advance of enrolment so as to determine whether a proposed topic or field of study can be undertaken at Canterbury.
- For both MA and PhD theses, co-supervision (with a senior supervisor and at least one other supervisor) is required by the University.
- A co-supervisor may be from outside the Department.
