Prestigious University of Melbourne Scholarships - IIT Kanpur – 2015

Call for applications for PhD - Apply by the 5th of December 2014

Melbourne India Postgraduate Program (MIPP) is established for a selected group of high performing PhD students. The programme is designed for potential/current Ph. D. Students to be executed in the following modes.

Mode I: Those who have/are graduated/graduating from IIT Kanpur can apply for a Ph. D. position at the University of Melbourne. The students will be registered at UOM and the degree will be awarded by UOM. However, they have to have a Co-supervisor from IIT Kanpur. Such students can do their part of research at IIT Kanpur, or the IITK Supervisor can visit UOM briefly. Supervisors at Melbourne and IITK and the student would stay connected through, say skype or e-mail on a regular basis.

Mode II: This mode is for students doing Ph. D. at IITK. Again, the student will be guided by supervisors from both Universities. The student shall visit UOM for a brief period (e.g., a semester) to conduct a part of her/his research there. IITK Supervisor may also visit UOM. The degree in Mode II will be awarded by IITK.

In both Modes, academics on both UOM and IITK will collaborate, visit each other, write research papers and apply for research grants with their PhD students either enrolled at and funded by UOM (Mode 1) or enrolled at and funded by IITK (Mode 2).
