CRICOS #: 048345A

Duration: 2 to 4 years full time (4 to 8 years part time)

Before you submit an application for entry to the program, you should:

• ensure you meet the admission requirements outlined below
• identify potential supervisors – that is, one or two academics in RSM who conduct research in your area of interest.

You can find information on researchers and their research areas in the  ANU researchers database  and on the  RSM research clusters page .

You may  contact the potential supervisor(s) directly and ask if they are available to work with you . You’ll need to indicate on your application form the name(s) of potential supervisors who have agreed to supervise your proposed research.

Potential supervisors cannot guarantee entry into RSM’s PhD program. Admission will depend on the strength of your application relative to others in the pool.

After you’ve completed the steps above, you can proceed with an  online application .

Application deadlines

The first semester of the ANU academic year starts in February, and the second semester starts in July. While all applications for first semester entry must be submitted  before 31 October,  international applicants wishing to be considered for an  ANU scholarship  should submit their applications  before   31 August .

To be considered for a scholarship, your application must be accompanied by all the supporting documents listed below, including the referee reports. Request for referee reports are triggered and sent to your nominated referees at the time of submission of program application. It is thus important that you submit your application in advance (2-3 weeks) to allow time for your referees to provide their reports prior to the scholarship deadline.

If you’re currently completing an academic degree and haven’t yet received your final results and transcript, you should still submit all available documents before the deadline, and forward remaining results once you receive them. We won’t make a final decision on your application until we’ve received all the required documents.

The admission requirements for a PhD program in RSM reflect the advanced knowledge that candidates will need to undertake the coursework component of the degree, and the research experience and skills needed to successfully undertake and complete the research thesis.

The minimum qualification requirement for admission to the PhD program in RSM is:

• an Australian Bachelor degree with at least Second Class Honours Division A (First Class Honours highly preferred) or its international equivalent, which should include a substantial thesis component in a relevant discipline – such as management, marketing, international business, business information systems or psychology – from an approved university, or
• a Master of Philosophy (or equivalent) degree with a significant research thesis component, from an approved university, or
• a coursework Master degree comprising a research thesis counting towards no less than 25 per cent of the degree, with the thesis grade and overall GPA (grade point average) both being at least a 6.0 (distinction) on a 7-point scale, from an approved university.

Admission to RSM’s PhD program is competitive and we can only admit a limited number of applicants each year. Meeting the minimum entry requirements does not guarantee you a place in the program.

If you don’t satisfy the minimum entry standard for the School’s PhD program, you might consider applying to the MPhil program . If you’d like to consider this pathway, contact the RSM HDR (higher degree by research) convenor for more information.

English language requirements

All applicants must satisfy the University’s  English language admission requirements . An international applicant who is not a native English speaker may satisfy these requirements by submitting evidence of an  IELTS  overall score of at least 6.5, and with no component less than 6.0, or a paper-based  TOEFL  score of at least 570, with at least 4.5 in the essay component.

Application and supporting documentation

You must submit your application online via the  ANU Application Manager .

In addition to the standard information required in the online application, you must submit the following supporting documents as part of your application:

• a completed RSM PhD/MPhil  application questionnaire
• academic transcripts (scanned colour copies) and grading systems for all previously completed degrees
• a research proposal (fewer than three pages, double-spaced, including a list of key references) that outlines your proposed area of research, the questions you plan to address, a research model and the major research methods you intend to use as part of your PhD thesis – see these guidelines on how to  prepare a persuasive research proposal
• an up-to-date CV or resume

• a one-page statement outlining your motivation to undertake a PhD in RSM, describing your strengths, weaknesses, career goals and anything else you feel is relevant
• nomination of three referees. A referee report form will automatically be sent to the referees you list in your online application. Your application will be complete and ready for assessment once we receive all documents, including referee reports
• GRE General Test  or  GMAT  scores (if taken)
• additional relevant supporting documents (if available – five-page limit).

Offers of admission

The HDR convenor will review all complete applications submitted by the relevant deadline.

If your application is short-listed, you may be required to attend an interview (face to face or online).

We may send you an offer of admission if you satisfy the eligibility criteria and your area of interest matches those of RSM academics with supervisory capacity. However, since admission is competitive and supervisory capacity is limited, we won’t send any offers of admission until  after the relevant application deadline , irrespective of the date when you submit your application.

The PhD program in RSM consists of two components –  coursework  and  research .

Candidates undertake the research component concurrently with the required coursework.

PhD coursework component

In the coursework component, PhD candidates learn the foundations of key theories and research methods and have the opportunity to specialise in fields of interest.

Mandatory courses

PhD candidates must complete the following four mandatory courses within the first twelve (12) months of the commencement of their program as per ANU procedure – HDR – Candidature progression ( https://policies.anu.edu.au/ppl/document/ANUP_012810 )

• MGMT8006  Management Research Methods (Semester 1)
• MGMT8018  Qualitative Research Methods (Semester 1)
• MGMT8019  Quantitative Research Methods in Management (Semester 1)
• MMIB8008 Theory in Management

Candidates without sufficient background in statistics may be required to take an additional prerequisite course before enrolling in MGMT8019.

Elective courses

PhD candidates can select two courses, with approval from their supervisors, from the following list:

• MGMT8003  Organisational Behaviour (Semester 1 and 2)
• MGMT8022  Strategic Management (Semester 1 and 2)
• MKTG7001  Marketing for Leaders (Semester 1)
• INFS8202  Industry Research Project (Semester 1 and 2)
• INFS8205  Digital Strategy, Executive and Operations (Semester 1 and 2)
• MGMT7107  Managing Across Cultures (Semester 2)
• MMIB8004  Special Research Topic 2 (Semester 1 and 2)
• other courses approved by the supervisor and RSM HDR convenor.

PhD research component

In the research component, candidates contribute to their field of specialisation by writing a thesis under the guidance of a panel of supervisors. The thesis must demonstrate the candidate’s ability to undertake independent research, and make a significant contribution to one of the disciplines of RSM, with the potential to be published in leading journals in relevant disciplines.

The thesis is typically 200 to 250 pages, with a maximum limit of 400 pages or 100,000 words. The thesis will be independently assessed by three external expert examiners of international standing.

Candidates are expected to consult with their supervisory panel, which can assist, advise, and provide support and encouragement for a timely and successful completion of the thesis.

Research supervisory panel

When a candidate is admitted to the program, a primary supervisor is appointed. The primary supervisor has the responsibility of overseeing the candidate’s progress until a supervisory panel is chosen. During the first year of the program, it is important that candidates start developing their research topic ideas by consulting with their primary supervisor and other academic staff at RSM. In this year, a supervisory panel will also be chosen (typically comprising three academics). Based on the primary supervisor’s nominations, the HDR convenor will determine the composition of the supervisory panel in consultation with the candidate.

The primary supervisor will provide close supervision on the research. Other panel members will assist when needed. At the very least, the panel members are required to read the final drafts of the thesis proposal and the dissertation. The panel is also consulted during the annual review of the candidate’s progress.

RSM seminar program

RSM runs a weekly seminar program, featuring internationally renowned speakers presenting their work. To provide learning and networking opportunities that assist in the development of research skills, all research candidates are required to attend and actively participate in the seminar series.

Research integrity training

Within three to six months of enrolment, all PhD candidates must complete the  Research Integrity Training  and pass the exam. Completion of this course and exam is a compulsory milestone for all PhD candidates.

Thesis proposal review

PhD candidates must develop their thesis proposal in the first year of their candidature, and submit it to their supervisory panel for review by the second year of study. The purpose of the thesis proposal review is to assess the originality, significance, adequacy and achievability of the candidate’s thesis plan.

The candidate generally submits their thesis proposal in conjunction with their seminar presentation. The proposal includes a description of the research to be undertaken in the thesis, along with a summary of the thesis structure and time plan. Successful completion of the review is required to continue in the program.

Annual progress review

It is University policy that each candidate’s progress be reviewed periodically. In each year of their program, PhD candidates are required to submit an  annual plan and report  as a basis for periodic progress review. This document provides details on work completed by the candidate since the previous review, current progress, and any problems that may impact their research. It also outlines the coursework and research the candidate intends to undertake in the following 12 months.

During their program, PhD candidates are expected to present their research yearly (when studying full-time) at opportunities provided by RSM, such as seminars, conferences and doctoral colloquiums.

Oral presentation

In their final year, candidates are required to give a final  oral presentation  on their research, usually three months before submitting their thesis.

Read more about  research candidate milestones .

Thesis submission and examination

The culmination of a PhD program in RSM is a written thesis which, upon completion, is submitted for examination. The thesis is examined by experts in the relevant field.

Management PhD

Program outline.

The Management Discipline Group (MDG) at UTS is one of Australia’s leading Management research group. Students who undertake the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program will have the opportunity to work with a supervisory panel made up of three experienced researchers with expertise in the relevant area of study.

All students enrolled in the program will have to complete three assessment stages.

• Stage 1 is usually undertaken at the end of the first year of study, and involves the presentation of the research proposal and identification of the topic for study.
• Stage 2 assessment is usually undertaken in the 2nd year of study, where students develop the appropriate methodology for their study.
• Stage 3  students are required to submit the completed draft of their thesis for assessment. This provides students with feedback about the suitability of the thesis for external examination.

Structure (potential coursework)

Students joining the PhD program will be required to complete four coursework research subjects that relate to the development of their research proposal, understanding and application of relevant management theories, and research methods.

You may also want to look at some thesis topics of our current research degree students .

Expression of interest

Life as an Industry PhD candidate: Rosie Georgelin

“For us younger ones in the company, this is an opportunity to learn how start-ups function and to understand more about the business side of what it takes to commercialise research.”

PhD candidate Rosie Georgelin is working with industry partner Samsara Eco to push boundaries in infinite plastic recycling.

When athletic clothing retailer Lululemon recently unveiled its first jacket made from recycled polyester, The Australian National University (ANU) Industry PhD student Rosie Georgelin felt a sense of pride and excitement.

Along with a team of scientists from ANU-backed start-up Samsara Eco, her name was on the patent for the revolutionary fabric used in the clothes.

“It was a challenging process to get the patent, proving that what we were doing was completely novel, and I’m pleased to have been involved in that,” she says. 

Undertaking an Industry PhD at the ANU Research School of Chemistry (RSC) in the College of Science, Rosie is supervised by Professor Colin Jackson, Research Founder at Samsara Eco. 

Sustainable science

Rosie’s academic journey started in the arts, but she changed direction while on a gap year in the UK, where she coached rowing at a school near London. Back at the ANU, she transitioned her focus to chemistry, discovering a passion for synthetic chemistry and chemical biology.

While interested in further study, she hadn’t considered an Industry PhD, where the candidate is co-supervised by the University and an industry host.

The opportunity came about while she was studying her Honours at RSC, and Colin offered her a research assistant role at Samsara Eco. 

“I had a good working relationship with Colin so when he offered me the job, he knew my work ethic and that it would be a good fit for us both,” she says.

“In the end, industry sort of came to me and it was too good an opportunity to pass up.”

Under Colin’s mentorship, Rosie was able to immerse herself in the latest research in plastic-eating enzymes and began her PhD in 2022, with a focus on transforming plastics into valuable chemicals.

Her research focuses on optimising enzymes to break down plastic into its monomeric forms to be recycled into new plastics. She also works on developing chemoenzymatic upcycling methods to transform plastics into other useful chemicals.

Passionate about problem-solving and innovation, part of Rosie’s work is looking at removing fossil fuels from the chemical supply chain more broadly.

“If we could replace fossil fuels with plastic as the feed stock, that would be ground-breaking,” she says.

At Samsara Eco, Rosie’s role is twofold, integrating her doctoral research with the company's mission to contribute to ground-breaking advancements in plastic recycling. She’s employed a day and a half a week at Samsara Eco and spends the rest of the time at RSC.

“I think the joy of doing your PhD is that it's your opportunity to learn and make mistakes,” she says.

“I had a lot of guidance and feedback for the first two years, and learned so much from observing the kind of judgment calls Colin would make.

“I’m at the stage now where I have the skills and capacity to be creative with my experiments and to choose the direction I want to go.”

For Rosie, her PhD journey, which will take four years in total, isn't just about scientific discovery; it's also about personal growth and collaboration. 

“Samsara is a great place to work, and I love that the research it does is grounded in something so valuable and important as climate repair,” she says.

“I've been given an extra six months on my scholarship, which is excellent – I’m learning that a PhD never feels like it's long enough!”

The perspective gained from researching while embedded with an industry partner has been invaluable for Rosie.

“An Industry PhD means we’re exposed to the business, the strategy and project management; skills that you don’t really learn otherwise. It broadens my horizons,” she says.

After graduating from RMIT with an Honours degree in Biomedical Engineering, and working in the industry for two years, Jordan decided to return to university to follow his passion for research.

Jordan decided to undertake research in lattice metamaterials, due to there being many global experts in the field accessible at RMIT.

“It’s also a young area that has only really existed for the past 20 years so I could have a tangible impact,” he said.

Jordan found his College and the Centre for Additive Manufacturing provided a strong support system that fostered community and positive discussion.  

This helped him to feel prepared for his milestone presentations throughout his PhD journey.

“My supervisors Professor Ma Qian, Professor Martin Leary, Dr Elizabeth Kyriakou and Professor Milan Brandt invested countless days and nights positively shaping my research and fostering my development,” he said.

“I am truly fortunate to have had such inspiring mentors, whether it was designing experiments, teaching me how to present at conferences (around the world) and write high-level publications, or providing me with opportunities like running RMIT’s additive manufacturing machines.”

After four years of working towards his PhD, Jordan said he feels amazing to finally be graduating this May. 

“As I consider graduating, the weight of years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice runs through my mind,” he said.

I have a sense of pride in knowing that I've reached the pinnacle of academic achievement in my field, yet it's also a moment marked with nostalgia and reflection.

The road to graduation has not always been easy, as Jordan reflected, one challenge he faced from time management.

“As the success of your PhD is entirely dependent on you, it can often become an obsession,” he said. 

“To overcome this, I always made sure to ‘clock off’ on the weekends and maintain a healthy social life.”

When asked what he would say to any students considering undertaking a PhD at RMIT, Jordan stressed the importance of taking advantage of the RMIT community.

“The best advice I can give is to not try and do it all by yourself,” he said.

“RMIT encourages a community of researchers who are always accessible and open to discussion. 

“Many of these people not only share your passion for research but have also experienced the same challenges you may be facing, so don’t be afraid to reach out.”

Melbourne private school students expelled over ‘cruel’ spreadsheet rating female classmates

Yarra Valley grammar principal says position of two students was untenable and ‘they will not be returning’

Two boys at a Melbourne private school have been expelled over a spreadsheet in which female classmates were ranked , its principal has told parents.

Four students from Yarra Valley grammar in Ringwood, in Melbourne’s east, were suspended last week after it came to light they had made the list. It included photos of female students ranking them as “wifeys”, “cuties”, “mid”, “object”, “get out” and “unrapable”.

The principal, Mark Merry, wrote to parents on Tuesday morning and said that while the investigation was still ongoing, he formed the opinion that the enrolment of two boys in the school had become “untenable”.

“Others, who have played a lesser role in this matter have been subject to further disciplinary action,” he said.

“The investigation of this issue has been complex and time-consuming and can’t be rushed and I thank our students and families for your patience and confidence as we ensured that all the circumstances were known.”

“The past week has obviously been a difficult one for our community … I am saddened that the actions of a few individuals can cause so much harm as social media has the power to amplify the damage that can be done and the anguish inflicted.”

Merry said the school was characterised by respectful relationships “most of the time”, but that “more work needs to be done”.

“Whilst we conduct regular sessions on respectful relationships and model care and respect in all that we do; this has not been enough,” he said.

“We will be reviewing all of our programmes to ensure that the dignity of all is respected. This needs to be a learning moment for all of us.”

Merry previously said he had reported the list to the police, and on Tuesday a Victorian police spokesperson said investigators would assess the information to determine if it was ‘a matter for police’.

Last week, a screenshot of the list was shared online, with the school becoming aware of the post on Wednesday. The prestigious school costs about $30,000 a year per student to attend.

It created widespread condemnation, with the premier, Jacinta Allan, saying she was “utterly devastated” by the “disgraceful” list.

“To think that you’re sitting in a classroom with classmates who not just hold these views, but write them down and share them,” Allan told reporters.

“This is no joke. Respect for women has to be at the forefront of every classroom, of every household, of every part of our community, because … too many women [are] subjected to violence, too many women [are] losing their lives.”

Speaking on Nine’s Today show, the federal education minister, Jason Clare, called the incident “disgusting and appalling”.

On Monday an assembly was expected to be held with the entire year level, including parents of the female students named in the document.
