  • UQIDAR: a joint PhD program between us and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD), an Institute of Eminence, to help your research make a global impact.

How to apply

To apply for a joint PhD with one of our partners, inform your advisor and enrolling school/institute during the application process.
