Candidates undertake supervised research training in either a full-time or part-time study mode with a maximum duration of 4 years for full-time scholars or 10 years for part-time scholars.

Candidates generally undertake their research studies at the School however external candidature in conjunction with an approved organization may be considered. A major thesis is the sole form of assessment for this award.
