How to apply
Your supervisor must recommend an upgrade on your behalf using the School/Faculty PhD Approval Form.
You are not required to complete an application for the PhD, but if you wish to be considered for a Wellington Doctoral Scholarship you need to complete an online application. Any scholarship offer takes into account your previous Master's enrolment.
You can make an application to upgrade to a PhD at any time, but you need to make your application for a Wellington Doctoral Scholarship within one of the three standard application rounds.
