You can undertake a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in any area of plant biology.
A PhD is a program of independent, supervised research assessed solely on the basis of a thesis that is examined externally.
A doctoral thesis must be a substantial and original contribution to knowledge of the subject with which it deals.
Benefits
The School offers many benefits to postgraduate researchers, such as:
- the annual Rottnest Island Postgraduate Workshop, fully funded by the School
