The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a research degree designed to develop the research capability and scholarly practice of those who aspire to become researchers in the field of Engineering. This programme provides an opportunity for candidates to extend their development beyond scholarly understanding and practice to include the capacity to conduct research within an area of interest in the field of Engineering.
Research Supervision
Once the student has passed the required courses, he/she begins to consult a prospective supervisor and a supervisory committee on their proposal. The dissertation / thesis proposal has to be formally presented and examined for approval, before the candidate qualifies to proceed with the dissertation / thesis research. Before submitting their dissertation / thesis for examination, candidates are expected to present their research-in-progress, as well as participate actively in CPSR’s Doctoral Colloquium.
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme encompasses the following five (5) phases:
| Phase I – Prerequisite Coursework (6 credit hours) |
