A typical doctorate pathway involves three components: coursework, comprehensive exams, and independent research. First, students take advanced classes in their discipline, followed by comprehensive exams to demonstrate their understanding. Once they complete their coursework, they engage in independent study with a supervisor, resulting in a dissertation that produces new knowledge. The last part is a defence of the thesis to a committee composed of their supervising professor, external examiners and others from the university. Overall it is usually 3–7 years of full-time study, depending on the discipline, the university, and the student's progress. Some programs may have teaching or publication requirements as part of their path to a degree.
