Doctor of Philosophy (Exercise and Sports Science)

Course Details

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is an elite higher degree qualification completed solely by research. Graduates at this level will have systemic and critical understanding of a substantial and complex body of knowledge at the frontier of a discipline or area of professional practice. Undertaken over four years of full-time study, the PhD enables a candidate to create authoritative capabilities for independent research, demonstrated through the completion of a substantial thesis, or creative works with exegesis. Throughout their research journey, the candidate works closely with a supervisory team who provide academic guidance and support. Candidates in this course would undertake a research project within the broad area of human movement, exercise and sports sciences.
