Other requirements
General requirements
- It is general departmental policy to admit only PhD applicants who have a strong track record of research and hold a Master’s degree or equivalent. Our expectation is a minimum of 70%, or the GPA equivalent, at Masters level. We do, however, consider each application on its own merits - i.e. this is a guideline and not a rule.
- In addition, the department will only accept students who wish to work in a research field where the department has expertise.
- As the Doctoral Degree Board (DDB) policy requires, a full PhD proposal should be submitted on admission or within 6 months of registration where applicants are admitted on a provisional basis with the opportunity to work on their proposal under supervision.
