Notes

1. Postgraduate Research Applications:

Please note that HDR03 – Project Outline must be

completed and submitted together with this form, along

with any other identified documentation as indicated in

the Checklist.

Failure to submit all requested documentation will

delay processing of your application.

2. PhD including Previously Published Work:

Please read the How to Apply to Include Previously

Published Work instructions on the CDU website.

Your proposed supervisor and the Faculty will need to

assess the proposal outline and associated publications

to evaluate whether the proposed publications represent

a coherent body of work equivalent or greater to that

normally required of a doctoral candidate. The number of

publications required to demonstrate this requirement will

vary between disciplines and candidates.

You will need to complete and submit an HDR37 –

Existing Research Outputs Form for each publication you

wish to include.

3. Honours Equivalence:

Applicants who have not attained an Australian

Bachelors Degree with Honours Class IIA or higher, will

need to seek admission based on Honours Equivalence.

This may include different academic qualifications,

employment in a research environment, published

research outputs, and/or other forms of professional

attainment that demonstrate learning and skills

equivalent to a Bachelor Honours Degree.

You will need to complete and submit HDR05 –

Honours Equivalence Checklist and HDR37 – Existing

Research Outputs Form and/or HDR38 – Recognition

of Professional Attainment Form as appropriate to

your circumstances.

The Faculty may choose to invite you to participate in

an interview prior to making a decision as to whether to

recommend your application for admission.

4. Certified Academic Transcripts:

> Do not send originals – CDU does not return

documents.

> Provide certified copies in person, through the mail

or by email to [email protected]

> You must be prepared to provide original documents

if we ask for them.

Who can certify copies for you?

You may have your original documents certified at the Uni

Info Shop at CDU. Your original documents will be copied

and handed back to you. CDU will retain the copies with

your application. If you are unable to get your documents

certified by CDU, you may get one of the following to

certify them for you (remembering that they must be

contactable by telephone during normal working hours):

> a Justice of the Peace;

> a Commissioner of Oaths;

> a Police Officer;

> a staff member of a tertiary institution.

How should the authorised officer certify each

document?

She or he must:

> write on the copy ‘This is a true copy of the

original document sighted by me’ or use the

organisation’s stamp;

> sign the copy;

> print the following details: (unless the organisation

has an agreement in place with CDU);

> name;

> address and contact telephone number;

> profession or occupation or organisation;

> the date the document was certified and include the

official stamp or seal of the certifier’s organisation

on the copy, if the organisation has such a stamp.

In addition to the above, a Justice of the peace must

also print:

> their registration number;

> the state in which they are registered as a

Justice of the Peace.

NOTES

PRINCIPLES FOR GAUGING HONOURS EQUIVALENCE

It is problematic for members of any board or committee

of academics to judge the competing arguments and

requirements of candidates from very different scholarly

traditions. The nature of the research project in Engineering or

Medicine may be very different from that required for Literature

or Political Science, for example. Thus, the demonstration of a

candidate’s potential for higher degree research may equally

require qualitatively different evidence. The Honours degree

has been seen as the great leveller in this regard.

In determining Honours Equivalence consideration may be

given to alternative* qualifications and/or research experience

and publications.

The primary principles for deciding the value to be given to

alternative* qualifications for the purpose of entry into a

research degree are:

> Successful completion of a Masters by Research Degree is

considered equivalent to a First Class Honours.

> To be deemed equivalent to a First Class Honours, the research

component of an alternative* coursework based degree

must comprise at least 0.5FTE and must be achieved with

a High Distinction level result overall. Where the alternative*

coursework based degree is not awarded with a merit based

grade or the grade achieved is less than a High Distinction

evidence of publication output as detailed below is essential in

order to be considered for First Class Honours equivalence.

> To be deemed equivalent to a Second Class Honours A, the

research component of an alternative* coursework based

degree must comprise at least 0.5FTE (or the equivalent of one

half a year’s full-time load**) and any graded coursework based

degree must be achieved with a Distinction level result overall.

> To be equivalent to a Second Class Honours B, the research

component of an alternative* coursework based degree

should be at least 0.25 FTE (or the equivalent one quarter of

a year’s full-time load**) for a Masters by Coursework and

at least 0.5FTE (or the equivalent of one half a year’s full-

time load**) for a Graduate Diploma.

*Acceptable alternative qualifications for entry into the PhD

program include a Masters by Coursework Degree and a

Masters by Research Degree. For entry into the Masters

by Research Program a Graduate Diploma may also be

considered.

**It is important to be able to determine what constitutes

a full-time load. At CDU 80 credit points constitutes a full-

time load, but this varies between universities. Relevant

documentation regarding the full-time equivalence should be

provided with the academic transcripts for this purpose.

Research Experience

The Charles Darwin University may admit an applicant to

a Higher Degree by Research if they hold a combination of

qualifications and/or experience determined to be equivalent

or superior to a Degree of Bachelor with Honours IIA.

Persons seeking to gain admission on this basis will need

to demonstrate to the University learning and skills that are

equivalent to the Australian Bachelor Honours Degree.

These include :

> Cognitive skills to review, analyse, consolidate and

synthesise knowledge to identify and provide solutions

to complex problems with intellectual independence;

> Cognitive and technical skills to demonstrate a broad

understanding of a body of knowledge and theoretical

concepts with advanced understanding in some areas;

> Cognitive skills to exercise critical thinking and judgement

in developing new understanding;

> Technical skills to design and use research in a project;

> Communication skills to present a clear and coherent

exposition of knowledge and ideas to a variety of audiences.

Persons seeking admission on this basis will need to submit

information which demonstrates the above requirements using

HDR38 – Recognition of Professional Attainment Form.

Applicants seeking admission or a scholarship based upon

Honours Equivalence may be invited to participate in an

interview prior to being offered admission.

Page 14: Higher Degrees by Research Application Form › sites › default › files › ori › documents › ... · Bachelors Degree with Honours Class IIA or higher, will need to seek admission

Page 14 | Honours Equivalence Checklist (HDR05). Last updated August 2016. Controlled by Manager, URS.

Outputs

Research Outputs may also be utilised to demonstrate

equivalence. A minimum of three journal articles or similar,

not necessarily in the Australian Government’s principal

publication categories would be expected. An HDR37 –

Existing Research Outputs Form will need to be completed

and submitted for each output you want considered.

Outputs should fit into Australian Government’s audited

publication categories (A1, B, C1, E1) and be relevant to the

proposed area of study.

> Books – at least 1 major work of scholarship, published

as single author. Sufficient to upgrade from pass or

Honours IIA or IIB to First Class Honours equivalence.

> Refereed Journal Articles / Book Chapters – at least

2 journal articles/book chapters. Sufficient to upgrade

Honours IIA to First Class Honours equivalence.

> Refereed Journal Articles / Book Chapters – at least

3 journal articles/book chapters. Sufficient to upgrade

pass or Honours IIB to First Class Honours equivalence.

> Conference publications – at least 3 published papers,

subject to editorial scrutiny and peer review. Upgrade pass

or Honours IIB/IIA to First Class Honours equivalence.

> International Exhibitions or Performances – at least

1 major work of scholarship (or 2 joint works), advertised

in the international press and held at a recognised

international gallery, theatre or equivalent. Sufficient to

upgrade from pass or Honours IIA or IIB to First Class

Honours equivalence.

> National Exhibitions or Performances – at least 2 solo

works of scholarship (or 3 joint works), advertised in the

major national press and held at a recognised national

gallery, theatre or equivalent. Sufficient to upgrade

from pass or Honours IIA or IIB to First Class Honours

equivalence.

Definition of ‘refereed’

An acceptable peer review process is one that involves an

assessment or review of the research publication in its

entirety before publication by independent, qualified experts.

Independent in this context means independent of the author.
