IISc has signed a joint PhD agreement with the University of Melbourne, as part of the Melbourne-India Postgraduate Academy (MIPA).
Under this partnership, IISc and University of Melbourne will support up to 10 joint PhD candidates each year for the next five years.
PhD candidates enrolled in the MIPA will be jointly supervised by academics at both universities. Candidates can spend at least 12 months in each institution, and upon successful completion of their PhD, graduate with two testamurs.
