This PhD program consists of an extensive, independent research project in your discipline of choice, supported by a minimum of two academic supervisors throughout your candidature. Your study will result in a research thesis, which makes a valuable contribution to the body of knowledge or understanding of your field of research.

At Monash we have a robust intellectual curiosity about the world, with particular expertise in Southeast Asia. We want to know how the various peoples, communities, regions, states, institutions and organisations that constitute this world interact and shape the national, regional and global dynamics we encounter today.

By understanding the forces that shape our lives, we aim to tackle the important issues so that we can change things for the better.
