About the course

The Doctor of Philosophy (Integrated) (Arts) is a four-year research degree that incorporates a traditional three-year PhD thesis with one year of coursework subjects, combining generic research training and discipline-specific content into a single degree.

　　The coursework, which is undertaken in the first year of the degree, comprises research training skills and individual coursework subjects. Research skills typically include research methodology, literature review, critical analysis or laboratory projects, and advanced topics or a minor research project. The individual subjects are normally chosen from options within the Masters by research degrees within the Arts and Humanities discipline, allowing students to obtain deeper content knowledge of their chosen field.

　　International students intending to become university researchers and teachers in their home country will benefit from exposure to Australian teaching methods through these subjects.

　　The research component is the same as for the three-year PhD program and leads to the production of a written thesis. The thesis, which involves a significant contribution to a field of knowledge, must be no longer than 100,000 words in length. Each PhD candidate has two supervisors appointed by the Faculty.

　　In order to progress to the research component, PhD Integrated students must complete the first year with an average of 65%, including 65% in each research training skills subject. Students progressing to the research component will have developed their specific research topic before commencing the research component. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
