What topic can I research?
Before applying to study a higher degree by research (HDR), you are encouraged to have a proposed topic in mind that relates to one of our 4 capability platforms. For those interested in studying one of our discipline-specific doctorates, please choose a platform relevant to that degree.
Once you have a topic in mind, you will need to find a supervisor in that area to oversee your study. Our register of supervisors can help you identify the right academic.
Resources for Humanities HDR students
As a Humanities HDR student you will have access to a variety of resources to support you with your research, writing and how to produce a good thesis in good time, including resources for managing your degree by research and specific HDR resources and support for Humanities research.
