Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of Otago, Wellington
Completion of doctoral (PhD) study indicates that a student has
undertaken a piece of original research at a level which develops
the chosen discipline and contributes new knowledge to society.
In doing so the student develops as an independent researcher
and as a potential intellectual leader in his or her field. At
the University of Otago, Wellington we are committed to providing
doctoral level research training of the highest calibre.
We take doctoral students from a wide range of backgrounds to
study a variety of health-related topics ranging from laboratory
science, through clinical science to public health and the social
science of health..
Wellington is an exciting place to live and study, with access
to tertiary level clinical services, a diverse population base
and central government agencies. We also have the intellectual
stimulation of a network of tertiary teaching and research institutions
including universities, Crown and private research institutes
and polytechnics. Therefore we are able to offer a truly diverse
range of opportunities for Doctoral level studies in the health
sciences.
