COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a higher-level research degree that requires advanced research, conceptual and writing skills. Working under the guidance of academic supervisors, PhD candidates produce advanced knowledge and expertise by conducting independent and sustained research that examines a specific problem, issue or topic. The thesis is undertaken as a full dissertation or combined with a design project and needs to demonstrate a critical application of specialist knowledge that makes an independent contribution to existing scholarship.

Across our core disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, urban planning, property and construction, our research focuses on the following themes:

  • Architecture and the urban past
  • Cultural and sustainable landscapes
  • Data and value
  • Design and creative research
  • Future cities
  • Indigenous place
  • Healthy communities and infrastructure
  • Practice and construction in innovation
