Doctor of Philosophy (Management)

Faculty of Commerce

Organisations around the world increasingly place a high priority on recruiting highly trained managers with a broad range of skills and knowledge. As a manager, you must be able to communicate successfully, plan strategically, think globally and, above all, lead effectively.

The leading-edge programs offered by the School of Management and Marketing are taught by staff with outstanding academic credentials who are authorities in their fields. Research students benefit from working closely with recognised experts. The School's small size and relaxed atmosphere enables students to interact easily with supervisors and other staff.

The research involved in producing a doctoral (PhD) dissertation involves a significant contribution to a field of knowledge. The thesis must be no longer than 100,000 words in length.

Each PhD candidate has two supervisors. The Faculty will ensure that a supervisor with appropriate expertise is allocated to a candidate at the time of application. Students are encouraged to identify potential supervisors who match their area of research interest by visiting the Faculty's web pages. Students are also advised to make contact with a potential supervisor to discuss their project prior to applying for admission.

Information regarding the University's research activity, strengths and services is available at UOW's Research & Innovation website.

Students may be required to attend lectures in relevant topics from time to time throughout the program.
