Jointly-Conferred PhD Awards Policy

Overview:

This Policy provides procedures on how to develop, assess, establish, monitor and review Jointly-Conferred PhD Awards with Australian and international institutions. It encompasses two types of agreements: an overarching, institutional-level agreement with one or more partner institutions; and individual agreements governing a degree program developed for a specific PhD student.
