Doctor of Philosophy Integrated (Health and Medicine)

The Doctor of Philosophy Integrated (Health and Medicine) is a four-year research degree which comprises one year of coursework subjects together with a traditional three-year PhD thesis which combines generic research training together with discipline-specific research training into a single degree. The research component is the same as for the three-year PhD program and leads to the production of a single written thesis or compliation of publications. Each PhD candidate usually has two supervisors.
The coursework, which is undertaken in the first year of the degree, comprises research training skills and individual coursework subjects. Research skills are tailored for each faculty, but typically include: research methodology; literature review, critical analysis or laboratory projects; and advanced topics or a minor research project.

International students intending to become university researchers and teachers in their home country will benefit from exposure to Australian teaching methods through these subjects.

Disciplinary areas available include: Biomedical Science; Dementia; Exercise Science; Gerontology and Rehabilitation Studies; Health Management; Health Sciences; Indigenous Health; Medical Science; Mental Health; Nursing; Nutrition and Dietetics; and Rehabilitation.
