University of Auckland Offering International Joint PhD
Tuesday, 18 August 2009
The University of Auckland is one of 14 members of the Universitas 21 group of international universities who have signed a Memorandum of Understanding offering joint PhD programmes.
The agreement, signed by Vice-Chancellors and Presidents from fourteen member universities establishes a joint PhD programme which enables doctoral students to embark on joint degrees which will considerably enhance their research and employment opportunities on an international scale. Unlike a number of other joint programmes, this MoU gives an over-arching framework for universities to create tailor-made programmes of study for each student, taking individual research needs into account and enabling collaboration with another of the network’s universities.
The institutions involved in this ground-breaking programme are the universities of Auckland, Birmingham, British Columbia, Delhi, Dublin (University College), Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hong Kong, Korea, McGill, Melbourne, Nottingham, Queensland and Virginia, thus presenting a truly global choice of research partners for students embarking on a PhD.
