1. Thesis preparation

If appropriate, you can use an alternate thesis format. It's important that you discuss alternate thesis formats with your advisory team as early as possible. Most candidates discuss alternate formats at admission.

Alternate thesis formats include:

• Architecture thesis format
• Art history thesis by exhibition format
• Creative writing PhD thesis format
• Creative writing MPhil thesis format
• Music thesis format

You can request permission to use a format that is not listed above. This should be discussed with your advisors and Director of Higher Degree Research (DHDR) in the first instance. Before you submit a request, read section 2 of the Higher Degree by Research Examination Guideline.  (PHP?ID=452, 22.1 KB)

To request permission to use a format that is not listed, email graduateschool@uq.edu.au and attach letters of support from your advisory team and the DHDR.
