The first twelve months of study will involve four online advanced coursework units drawn from the CQU postgraduate unit catalogue, studied in combination with the Graduate Certificate in Research (paced for part-time mode over 12 months).

In years 2-4, candidates will complete research coursework, as well as research and thesis/dissertation activities, as per the preexisting model used for current RHD candidates.

The qualifications for admission as a candidate will be set out in the PhD (Industry) Course Rules Policy and Procedure.

Entry to the PhD (Industry) will require a coursework masters degree combined with a three or four-year bachelor-level qualification or equivalent in a field relevant to the proposed research study topic, plus a minimum of three years experience in a relevant professional setting.
