The Doctor of Philosophy (Behavioural Science) (Dual Award PhD with IMT Atlantique) at Adelaide University offers advanced research training for students looking to make a significant contribution to the field of behavioural science. This rigorous four-year doctorate is awarded jointly with IMT Atlantique in France, providing students with an international perspective and a unique collaborative experience. The programme is structured around independent research, supervised by leading academics and researchers, culminating in a thesis that advances knowledge in an area of behavioural science.
Australian doctoral degrees typically involve the completion of a substantial research project, with regular progress reviews and opportunities to engage with both academic and industry experts. You will gain expertise in research design, advanced statistical techniques, ethical considerations, and knowledge translation relevant to behavioural science. The dual award structure involves time spent at both Adelaide University and IMT Atlantique, fostering cross-cultural skills and a broader academic network.
This PhD suits those aiming for research-intensive careers, academic roles, or leadership positions in sectors where behavioural insights have a major impact. Throughout your studies, you may participate in seminars, workshops, and colloquia with researchers from Australia and abroad. The University structure generally allocates credit in terms of research milestones rather than coursework-based credit points for doctoral studies; your primary focus is the completion and examination of your thesis.
The programme also benefits from strong ties to Australian research institutes, public health agencies, and industry partners. International students may be eligible for work rights of 48 hours per fortnight during study and, upon graduation, can potentially apply for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Prospective students should confirm English language requirements and all details on the official university website.
It typically takes 4 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$153,200 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
