The Indian Institute of Science (IISc.), Bengaluru, has partnered with the University of Melbourne in Australia for the first-ever joint PhD program in science and technology. This may be extended to medical PhD programs in the near future, said IISc. in a press release.
Representatives from the two institutions met on Friday to discuss expansion of the joint PhD program.
Under this partnership, IISc. and the University of Melbourne will support up to 10 joint PhD candidates each year for the next five years. Students enrolled in the programme can spend at least 12 and up to 24 months in each institution. To be eligible for enrolment, graduate researchers must satisfy the entry requirements for PhD candidates at both Indian Institute of Science and the University of Melbourne.
