The minimum qualifications for admission to PhD Science candidature are:
- a bachelor’s degree requiring at least four years of full-time study in a relevant field, and which normally includes a research component in the fourth year, leading to an honours 1 or 2A in a relevant field;
- a course leading to a level rated by the relevant department, faculty and committee as equivalent to an honours 1 or 2A in a relevant field;
- a master’s degree that entails work, normally including a significant research component, at least equivalent to an honours degree in a relevant field (a ‘significant research component’ in a master’s degree will vary from discipline to discipline). It is normally expected that a grade of honours 2A has been obtained for the research thesis or project. Where ungraded, examiners’ reports will be taken into account; or
- have qualifications which in the opinion of the Monash Graduate Research Committee (GRC) are deemed equivalent.
Applicants must also satisfy Monash University’s minimum English language proficiency requirements for admission to this research degree.
The minimum qualifications for admission to PhD Engineering candidature are:
Master of Engineering by research or; Bachelor of Engineering with honours 1 or 2A from Monash University or another recognised tertiary institution judged to be of equivalent standard to an Australian university. Other qualifications can be assessed for equivalence. Applicants must also satisfy Monash University’s minimum English language proficiency requirements for admission to this research degree.
If you qualify for this degree, you can then find a project and/or supervisor. See https://www.monash.edu/graduate-research/future-students/apply for more information on applying for a PhD project.
