Doctor of Philosophy
The minimum requirements for admission to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program are:

• a bachelor's degree requiring at least four (4) years of full-time study in a relevant discipline awarded with honours. The degree should include a research component comprised of a thesis, other research projects or research methodology subjects that constitute at least 25% of a full time (or part time equivalent) academic year. The applicant must have achieved at least a distinction average in the final year; or
• a master's degree that includes a research component comprised of at least 25% of a full time (or part time equivalent) academic year with an overall distinction average; or
• a master's degree without a research component with at least a high distinction average; or
  evidence of appropriate academic qualifications and/or experience that satisfies the ADVC RT&D or nominee that the applicant has developed knowledge of the field of study or cognate field and the potential for research sufficient to undertake the proposed program.

At RMIT a grade of Distinction represents academic achievement of 70% or higher and a High Distinction is 80% or higher.

The process has two stages:
Stage 1: Expression of Interest (EOI)
Stage 2: Application

The EOI gathers just enough information about you for the University to assess your eligibility and consider the research you will undertake as part of your research program.
When submitting your EOI, search for this project title.
If your EOI is successful, you will be invited to complete and submit the rest of your application.
It may take up to four weeks for an outcome on your EOI, so make sure you submit your EOI well in advance of when you expect to commence study.
You can find more information on how to apply on the how to apply page here: https://www.rmit.edu.au/research/research-degrees/how-to-apply

The project is sutibale for a student with a background and interest in chemistry, bioengineering, nanotechnology or pharmaceutical science.
