What will I learn?

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is an advanced postgraduate research degree that develops research skills and provides high-achieving candidates with the opportunity to conduct in-depth research in their chosen discipline.Under the guidance of a supervisory team, consisting of two supervisors, you will independently plan and execute a research project that will lead to the production of a substantial thesis. By completing a doctoral (PhD) thesis in arts, normally between 80,000 and 100,000 words in length, you will be making a significant research contribution to your field of knowledge.As a potential student, you are encouraged to identify possible supervisors who match your area of research interest by visiting the UOW School of Humanities and Social Inquiry website.
