Course Description
|
|
The School of Accounting & Finance is regarded as one of the top institutions in alternative research frameworks and the application of information technology to the learning and management of teaching in the disciplines of accounting and finance.
The content of its programs is diverse, providing an opportunity to acquire an in-depth specialist knowledge in selected commercial, public sector and academic areas, including banking, finance, accounting and information systems.
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.
