University of Adelaide secures two Split-Site Masters Programs in AA Indonesia Program
The University of Adelaide has secured two Split-Site Masters Programs (SSMPs) in the 2025 Australia Awards Indonesia Program.
SSMP involves at least 12 months of study at an Indonesian university, followed by 12 months of study at an Australian university, leading to the awarding of two master’s degrees from two reputable universities in one related field of study.
In the 2025 round, up to five Indonesian students will be able to undertake a 1+1 master’s degree in each of the below programs at the University of Adelaide:
- Master of Education (TESOL) in collaboration with Universitas Mulawarman (UNMUL) and the East Kalimantan Office of Education, Indonesia.
- Master of Economics and Resource Policy in collaboration with the Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) University and the Ministry of Trade, Indonesia.
Australia Awards Indonesia received 23 eligible EOIs to participate in the 2025 Program. Following a highly-competitive, merit-based selection process, six EOIs were selected for implementation, with the University of Adelaide securing one-third of the programs awarded in Australia.
The University of Adelaide has also been successful in offering nine master’s programs in the new LPDP-Australia Awards Indonesia Scholarship Pilot Program in the themes of blue economy, green/renewable energy, and digital/information technology.
The Program was officially launched on Monday 26 August 2024, with the scholar selection process anticipated to be finalised in early November for a Semester 1, 2025 commencement. 277 programs from 22 Australian universities are included in the pilot.
The University of Adelaide has a proud history of developing strong, meaningful engagement with Indonesian partner institutions. This engagement includes delivering short course and upskilling programs through the University’s Professional and Continuing Education unit, co-designing dual award master’s programs, and deepening cross-institutional research collaborations.
