  Coursework component

All PhD students must complete the following two 0-credit-point coursework units, normally prior to confirmation of their enrolment:

Students are also required to complete the 'Good research practice' short course delivered by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine within their first year of enrolment.

Notes:

With the agreement of the school's PhD program coordinator and the student's main supervisor, a student may:

• in exceptional circumstances complete an elective unit in place of one of the required coursework units
• additionally complete up to two elective units - while this is not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged in order to add breadth to the student's training.

Students may also be directed or encouraged to attend and make presentations at various forums throughout their enrolment.
