Graduate Research
HDR Programs
Master (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs
The University offers three Higher Degree by Research (HDR) programs. For most Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Doctor of Philosophy (MPhil) programs, the specialisation you select will determine the fee structure and CRICOS code of your program. The Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology) has no specialisation, as it is a separate program.
