Milestones
Students enrolled in a PhD will be required to complete three milestones during their candidature.
The requirements for each milestone are set out in the document titled ‘Research Higher Degree Candidature Progression and Development’.
Candidates considering presenting a poster as part of Milestone 2, may be interested in viewing the following examples:
RHD Candidate Information Skills Audit
RHD students are encouraged to complete the RHD Infoskills Audit to assist them in identifying gaps in their information retrieval skills.
[1] An honours degree will be an approved degree if it is: (a) with honours class I or IIA from this University; or (b) honours class I or IIA from elsewhere and approved by the Director; or (c) honours class II from this University or elsewhere where there is no division of honours class II and the Director is satisfied that the standard achieved by the applicant is equivalent to honours class IIA at this University.
[2] A coursework masters degree will not be an approved degree unless the applicant has gained an overall GPA of 5 or equivalent and the Director decides that the applicant's performance in the research component (which should be at least 25% of the degree) is a suitable basis for admission.
