If you're a PhD student from one of our exchange partner institutions, you may be eligible for our research exchange program.
This program aims to strengthen research linkages across the world and provide opportunities for you to extend and enhance your graduate research work.
You'll have supervision at the host university and, for the period of the visit, access to the library, laboratory and other resources comparable to locally-enrolled doctoral candidates. Collaborative supervision candidates share supervision for the entire period of their candidature and will use their time at the host university to visit their co-supervisor.
Your progression, thesis supervision and examination will remain the principal responsibility of your home institution.
