Why study a PhD?

With a PhD, you become a deep expert in a specific area. The research you engage in empowers you not only with in-depth knowledge, but also the critical thinking and communication skills to engage in the most pressing social, political, and economic conversations of our time.

 

The research you undertake is written up as a thesis, which may include papers published, or intended to be published, contributing to your field of study. The thesis is required to present the research case; outlining the research conducted, findings, conclusions, and your original contribution to the field's knowledge.
