Abstract
A section of students who graduated with Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees yesterday attributed the small number attaining the qualification to the high cost of pursuing it.
A PhD is the highest academic award, typically requiring between three and seven years of original, independent research culminating in a thesis that advances knowledge in a specific field. It also prepares graduates for careers in academia, research and other specialised professions.
