A Doctoral degree, also known as a PhD, is the highest academic qualification. It focuses on generating original research that significantly contributes to knowledge in a specific field. Students work independently on a research project while being guided by expert supervisors. A doctoral degree is ideal for those pursuing careers in academia, advanced professional roles, or leadership positions. The average duration is 3 to 4 years of full-time study.
Entry requirements for a Doctoral Degree typically include the completion of a Master’s degree by research or a Bachelor’s degree with Honours (Class I or IIa) in a related field, a research proposal outlining your intended area of study and objectives, a strong academic record and a supervisor at the institution who is willing to guide your research.
