Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] [Science and Agriculture] From Charles Sturt University

The Doctor of Philosophy allows students to pursue a detailed research investigation in an area of interest and findings in a thesis. Students will create new knowledge and develop a thorough understanding of scholarly debate in students' field, and enhance students' capacity to critically analyze and constructively contribute to that debate. It gives the opportunity to make an original and significant contribution to knowledge in chosen disciplines within the sciences.

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Agricultural Science helps you demonstrate academic leadership, increasing independence, creativity and innovation in your research work.

The PhD program in Agricultural Sciences through the Faculty of Agriculture is the first doctoral degree in Agricultural Sciences offered in Atlantic Canada. This thesis-based program will allow students to pursue advanced-level knowledge in agriculture and develop expert skills in their discipline of focus, while producing original, high-quality research that will impact audiences ranging from international scholars to local farmers. Through the PhD program in Agricultural Sciences, doctoral students will become independent, competent, critical thinkers who will be ready for a wide range of career options in academia, private industry, and government.

Students in the PhD in Agricultural Sciences program will join an intellectually and socially vibrant university community of professors, instructors, dedicated staff, undergraduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and fellow graduate students.
