CPHMVS Veterinary Sciences Postgraduate
Postgraduate
Planning a Ph.D. project
A Ph.D. in Veterinary Sciences offers an opportunity for self-motivated, mentor-guided research, providing the ideal training for a professional career in veterinary sciences. Projects are largely determined by the interests of the individual students and their supervisors and you are requested to speak with potential supervisors regarding projects of interest. It is particularly useful for prospective students to consult with as many staff members as possible, so that an informed decision can be made regarding the choice of project(s). Positions are awarded competitively and, in almost all cases, are dependent on successful application for a postgraduate scholarship.
If a student has a specific project in which they are interested they are encouraged to speak with relevant potential supervisors to investigate the possibility (and feasibility) of conducting research to investigate the specific research of interest.
