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.

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.

How to get a PhD

Study tips Published 5 Apr, 2022  ·  4-minute read

Trying to wrap your head around how PhD programs work? We don’t blame you. Sometimes it feels like you need a PhD just to figure out how to get a PhD.

So, with a little help from our academics and some UQ PhD candidates, we’ve broken down the application and preparation process into 10 manageable steps:

• Complete prior research
• Choose your topic
• Find a PhD supervisor
• Write your PhD proposal
• Identify potential scholarships
• Gather required documents and apply
• Determine if you'll continue working during your PhD
• Calculate how long you’ll be researching your PhD
• Develop the traits and behaviours of a good PhD student
• Apply and get accepted

Let’s discuss how to get a PhD in Australia – from choosing your topic to getting stuck into the actual research.

1. Complete prior research (if necessary)

You don’t necessarily need a master’s degree to start a PhD. However, you do need to have completed extensive research. This might involve an academic research program (such as a bachelor's degree with an honours year or a Master of Philosophy ), research conducted in your professional career, or a combination of both. The important thing is that you can demonstrate experience in conducting effective research, as this is a key part of the PhD selection criteria.

2. Choose your topic

Whether you’re developing a thesis on a topic you’ve already worked on or branching out into a new area of interest, you’ll want to know early what kind of topic you want to research for your PhD. Finding a niche that sparks your curiosity is important for ensuring you’ll stay inspired during the 3+ years ahead.

Keep in mind that you generally have two options here. You can complete a PhD by:

• joining an existing research project in an area that interests you 
• start a fresh research project that aligns with your specific goals.

Get tips for choosing your PhD topic or explore available research projects at UQ

3. Find a PhD supervisor

One of the essential steps to consider when thinking about how to get a PhD is finding someone to guide you through the process.

Approaching academics about your PhD can be intimidating, but shortlisting and selecting the most appropriate person / team to supervise your research project is important. By choosing your mentor carefully, you can ensure you’ve got someone in your corner who understands your research, has relevant expertise, and will be there to support you throughout your journey.

Learn how to find the right PhD supervisor

4. Write your PhD proposal

Check with your supervisor to see if they require a formal PhD proposal (most will, but not all). If so, with their guidance, it’s time to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).

Even if your supervisor doesn't explicitly ask for one, a PhD proposal is a valuable document for outlining the scope of your research and giving your project its initial momentum – so it might be worth writing one either way.

5. Identify potential scholarships

Dedicating yourself to research sometimes means sacrificing your income in the short term, though it can lead to more financial security in the long term . To help support yourself during your studies, you can apply for PhD scholarships and funding.

Learn how to get a PhD scholarship

6. Gather required documents and apply

It’s time to jump online and do the official application process. Aside from your research proposal, you should also prepare to provide your:

• academic CV
• academic transcript
• degree certificate(s)
• English language documents (if needed)
• ID (such as a passport)
• two references / letters of recommendation from people who can comment on your research experience.

7. Determine if you'll continue working during your PhD

Some PhD candidates continue doing part-time or casual work while completing their research. However, this isn't easy and may not be feasible in most cases; it takes serious time-management skills to juggle any kind of job alongside a full-time PhD. So, think carefully about whether you’d like to keep working in some capacity or commit your attention fully to your research.

Learn more about working while doing a PhD

8. Calculate how long you’ll be researching your PhD

To complete your PhD within the standard 3.5-year* timeframe, you'll need to be organised with a clear project plan. Of course, the very nature of research is that you'll discover unexpected things and take unplanned detours along the way. So, your plan should include contingencies for any obstacles you might hit to ensure you still complete your research on time. 

*In special cases, you may be able to request an extension of your tuition for up to 4 years, but that is the maximum time allowed for a PhD.

Explore how long a PhD takes

9. Develop the traits and behaviours of a good PhD student

We know you’ve already got what it takes, but there are some skills and attributes you could cultivate or practise to make your upcoming journey a little smoother. Between writing your proposal and meeting with potential supervisors, be sure to set some time aside to work on yourself as well.

Discover what makes a good PhD student

10. Apply and get accepted

All the preparation is done. You’ve equipped all the gear, chosen your guide and mapped out your route. It's time to apply and set the wheels in motion.
