The thesis-based degree is designed to train academics in planning, conducting, evaluating and reporting leading original research with a high degree of competence and integrity. Graduates of the program go on to become the future stewards of their discipline: scholars who are not only capable of generating new research, but of transforming the landscape of their profession.
