Courses

The courses offered to PhD students at RSAA are outlined below. While undertaking coursework as part of the PhD program is not compulsory, it is strongly recommended that students who have not completed the RSAA Honours or Masters program undertake at least some of these courses. Note, though, that courses taken during the PhD program will neither be assessed officially nor appear on a student's transcript.
