structure of phd thesis

RMIT University recognises two PhD types: the PhD by Project and the PhD by Thesis. You will find workshops on PhD by Project Structure and Writing Process, and PhD by thesis: traditional and alternative types.
Remember: The structure of your PhD is related to the ways in which you conduct your research and examine its process and findings.
