Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Admission Requirements

Applicants should normally hold a master's degree or a bachelor's degree with first or second class honours in engineering from Sydney University, or an equivalent qualification from another university or institution. Candidates without one of these qualifications will be required to undergo a preliminary examination.

Application with a Master's Degree

If you hold a master's degree, you would normally be admitted to PhD candidature for a probationary period of 12 months, during which time you would be expected to demonstrate your capacity for research.

You should provide concise details of your proposed research program including aims and methodology, and evidence of your ability to carry out intensive research and advanced study at this level.

Application without a Master's Degree

If you do not have a master's degree you will normally be considered first for admission to the ME (Res) degree. If you make satisfactory progress you may be permitted, after 1-2 years, to transfer to PhD candidature with credit for time spent and work done towards the ME (Res) degree. The Faculty would not normally admit you directly to PhD candidature.
