<aside> 💡 ePhD for Founders: We’re seeing two three types of people interested in the Entrepreneurial PhD: (1) more conventional PhD candidates who want an entrepreneurial edge to help them graduate into an R&D role in the private sector, (2) early career founders who have industry experience and want a combined PhD and startup, and (3) serial founders who are interested in a new challenge while building their next venture. The official guide primarily has the first type in mind. These pages are written primarily for the second and third types, but likely also relevant for the first type.

General overview

What is the ePhD and who is it for?

The Entrepreneurial PhD is fundamentally a doctoral research degree qualification. The expected intellectual outcome is a new knowledge contribution that meets the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) definition of research (link). Then there is the professional outcome that you become a researcher, with the skills, expertise, knowledge, experience, and networks to continue your research. With the Entrepreneurial PhD, we’re pushing boundaries to develop researchers with a value-creation or entrepreneurial mindset.

Assuming you’re one of the serial entrepreneurs intrested in this program, you likely already have:

• An entreprenuerial mindset, experience, networks, ..
• An identified challenge to focus your research on
• Data from a prior venture or your current one (more in IP in the Terms and Conditions page)
