Embark on an Extraordinary Journey: Join Our Prestigious Ph.D. Programme

Enrolling in a research degree program is a long-term commitment requiring students to delve deeper into a specific study area. Students collaborate with their supervisor and the doctoral committee shortly after enrollment to brainstorm potential problems. Through a thorough literature review, the team identifies gaps and formulates a hypothesis. This step is crucial and significant for the student.

Once the hypothesis is formulated, students, supervisors, and other academic companions identify appropriate methodologies to conduct in-depth experiments and gather evidence. This marks the beginning of your investigation. You'll face many challenges during this four to five-year journey. Not all experiments will yield the desired results, and sometimes you will need to change your experimental tools or revisit the proposed hypothesis.
