Doctor of Philosophy

Monash is committed to providing the highest quality of graduate research education in a stimulating, supportive and professional environment. The sheer scale of Monash University's research capabilities and the breadth of specialist expertise within Business and Economics offer opportunities across the full range of applied business and policy disciplines.

A PhD in Business and Economics takes the form of the Monash Doctoral Program – a PhD for the 21st century. The program enables you to complete extensive, independent research on an agreed topic under the supervision of at least two expert academics. Your study will culminate in a written thesis or alternative approved output, which offers a significant contribution to the current body of knowledge in your chosen research area. The research component of your degree is enhanced by a series of coursework units or professional development activities designed to provide you with the skills to make an impact in academia, industry, government or the wider community.

Enrolment in a Doctor of Philosophy involves the independent investigation of a research problem that has been formulated by the student. It is expected that the research undertaken will make a significant contribution to the discipline in which the student is enrolled. Doctoral students are supported by a minimum of two supervisors throughout their enrolment.

Students are also required to complete compulsory coursework or training activities as part of the Monash doctoral program. These discipline-specific and professional development activities are designed to impart skills and knowledge that will assist students to conduct their research.
