Doctor of Philosophy (Arts)

Course Details

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 or the UOW School of the Arts, English and Media website. You are also advised to make contact with a potential supervisor to discuss your project prior to applying for admission. If you are accepted for doctoral studies, the faculty will appoint a principal supervisor with appropriate expertise and a co-supervisor.
