Doctorate (PhD)
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Veterinary Science helps you demonstrate academic leadership, increasing independence, creativity and innovation in your research work.
The PhD thesis demonstrates authority in the candidate's field and shows evidence of command of knowledge in relevant fields. It shows that the candidate has a thorough grasp of the appropriate methodological techniques and an awareness of their limitations. The thesis also makes a distinct contribution to knowledge. Its contribution to knowledge rests on originality of approach and / or interpretation of the findings and, in some cases, the discovery of new facts. The thesis demonstrates an ability to communicate research findings effectively in the professional arena and in an international context. It is a careful, rigorous and sustained piece of work demonstrating that a research 'apprenticeship' is complete and the holder is admitted to the community of scholars in the discipline.

Whether you are advancing your current qualification or already working in the field, graduate study can improve your career progression and earning potential.
Applications for candidature are open on a rolling basis. There are two rounds for scholarship applications and the deadlines are 31 October (for commencement the following year) and 30 April (for commencement in the same calendar year).
