PhD Application Information – RMIT

Eligibility

Applicants for doctor of philosophy programs must have completed one of the following from a recognised higher education institution:

  • a masters by research degree;
  • a masters by coursework degree which includes research courses or a research project with a duration of at least 25% of a full-time (or equivalent part-time) academic year and an overall distinction average;
  • a four year bachelor honours degree (with a minimum H2A achieved across the four years);
  • a three year bachelor degree and a one year bachelor honours degree program (with a minimum H2A achieved in the honours year);
  • another award deemed to be equivalent in character and standard to the above degrees.

If you qualify for this degree, you can then find a project and/or supervisor. See https://www.rmit.edu.au/research/phds-and-other-research-degrees/how-to-apply for more information on applying for a PhD project.

FLEET Research Areas

If you have a specific idea for a research project, you can contact a supervisor directly to negotiate a project with them. See research interests below.
