The UC Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a research-only degree, carried out under expert supervision and using world-class facilities. At UC you can complete a PhD in over 70 subjects, joining over 1,000 students from more than 60 nations. A PhD involves extensive, sustained, and original research in your chosen subject, with the results being presented in a thesis that will contribute to intellectual knowledge of the field. It is a mark of intellectual ability, self-discipline, and commitment. A PhD prepares you for a number of careers, including as an academic. Study a PhD at UC? In addition to expert supervision, UC provides all doctoral students with opportunities to gain transferable skills in areas including communication of research, networking, career planning, databases, statistical analysis, ethics, professional practice, and cultural awareness. UC has a number of unique research facilities, collections, resources, and field stations many of which are renowned globally. See more about our Research impact. The University has a thriving postgraduate research community which includes clubs and associations for social interaction and support. To find out more about the research interests of staff, start by searching the database in the UC Research Profile. UC Research Profile provides information about individual researchers, the projects they are working on, the research groups they belong to, the specialist equipment that they use for research, and their affiliations. There are many benefits for international students studying towards a PhD in Aotearoa New Zealand, such as the possibility to work while studying, apply for a work visa once graduated, pay domestic student fees, and school and work benefits for your partner and children. Engineering Geology is concerned with the application of the geological sciences to engineering design and construction practice. Geological data analysis provides site-specific models from which foundation design can proceed, and recognition of active processes such as landsliding is critical for site selection and/or remediation. Construction materials such as aggregates and armourstone frequently require careful geological study to avoid deleterious components, and to ensure successful project completion. Engineering Geology has an important role in the evaluation of site conditions for surface and underground mining, and increasingly environmental management in both the civil and mining professions requires a sound geological basis. There is also a key role for geochemical and geophysical investigation and data analysis in site evaluation and/or remediation. Study Involve: UC's Professional Master of Engineering Geology is the only programme of its kind in Australasia. Our Engineering Geology graduates are sought after for their wide-ranging field skills, and their ability to solve problems using ''geo-logic''. The programme at UC is inherently practical, and site visits form a key component of the tuition. This includes accessing completed major projects, such as existing and old hydro-electric works in the lower South Island, and visits to sites where construction is actively taking place.
