Description
The IT faculty offers a PhD program by research in each of the academic units of the faculty, across five of the University's campuses. The degree is awarded for a thesis which, in the opinion of the examiners, makes a significant contribution to knowledge or understanding of any field of study with which the University is directly concerned. The award of the degree is generally accepted as showing that the candidate is capable of carrying out independent research.
IT research at Monash has a multi-disciplinary, multi-campus and multi-national approach, and the five research centres of the faculty provide the focus for our internationally recognised research strengths in intelligent systems, distributed systems and software engineering, organisational and social informatics, business intelligence and multimedia computing.
Areas for research cover the whole IT spectrum from engineering to social science. The leading researchers' specific strengths are in:
- computing science
- software engineering
- information systems
- information and knowledge management.
School and course coordinators can provide advice and information about research topics and supervision.
For further information about the research centres in the faculty, refer to the 'Research Centres - Faculty of Information Technology' section of this Handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/postgrad/it-05.html.
