CD84 - Doctor of Philosophy by Portfolio

Overview

Course Overview

The Doctor of Philosophy by Portfolio will enable you to complete a PhD thesis that incorporates your pre-existing peer-reviewed research outputs as a substantial component of the thesis; allowing you to gain recognition for your significant contribution to research in your discipline. You will compile these outputs into a single body work that is unified through the development of a literature review, discussion and future directions chapters.

a) work for which the applicant is largely responsible (for example, as demonstrated by authorship sequence)

b) cogent; occurring within a unified area of study; and

c) of a volume and quality that aligns with the expectations of an Australian doctoral degree.

This degree is applicable for Australian domestic applicants and International Offshore applicants only.
