Domestic Higher Degree Research candidates may be funded for the maximum regulation term of study through the Commonwealth’s Research Training Program (RTP). After the regulation period covered by RTP has lapsed, candidates who have not completed their research degree may be required to pay tuition fees, as set by the University Research Committee (URC). Please Note: funding does not refer to coursework components of the concurrent Master of Psychology and Doctor of Philosophy programs.
Continuation of candidature is dependent upon the candidate adhering to the Research and Professional Doctorate Degree Regulations and maintaining satisfactory academic progress.
