Teaching, research and scholarship are fundamental to the life at university. As a university with a deep vocational and professional tradition, research and scholarship form part of TVU’s ongoing pursuit of excellence in applied pedagogic and practice-based research.
We offer conventional MPhil and PhDs and the PhD by Published Work which provides an alternative route to a traditional PhD. We also offer a range of professional doctorates.

The student body reflects the ethnic diversity of the region and we have students from over 120 countries. Studying in another country and often in a foreign language can be a challenge, but our International Office will provide you with as much help as you need.
