Doctor of Philosophy

Entry requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are an honours or masters degree in pharmacy or other related field from a recognised tertiary institution, or equivalent qualifications and experience.

The normal duration of the Doctor of Philosophy is three years full-time study (six semesters).
The Doctor of Philosophy program may be undertaken in any of the principal areas of research. Students may nominate their preferred area of study. However, they are strongly encouraged to discuss their research interests with senior research staff to ensure appropriate facilities, equipment and services are available, and to obtain guidance on suitable topics.
Applications for entry to the PhD program must be submitted to the research programs manager by 31 October of the year prior to their proposed commencement of studies. Application documentation must include an academic transcript, official syllabi of undergraduate units undertaken, the names of two academic referees, an indication of the research area of interest, and any other requirements set by the Monash Research Graduate School. Studies for the PhD degree normally commence in March of each year.
