By co-supervising a PhD student with a Key Technology Partner, you’ll grant them unique international experience through their doctoral studies. Plus, supervising joint research will open up further opportunities for you to network and collaborate with your international colleagues.

There are a multitude of benefits to becoming a joint PhD supervisor:

  • Expand your capacity for research and publishing.
  • Recruit a PhD student from a larger pool of candidates to match your interests.
  • Gain from the two-way exchange of knowledge.
  • Build your cross-cultural capabilities.
  • Explore a new research style.

How does the program work?

The PhD candidate will be supervised by two academics, one from UTS and another from a Key Technology Partner. They will divide their time between campuses – spending one year at their international host university and the other three at their home university – before graduating with a dual PhD from both institutions.

The candidate will also benefit from a tuition fee waiver at both universities, plus living stipend scholarships for students inbound to UTS.

Application process

The PhD candidate is required to submit their own application for joint-supervision through the UTS Graduate Research School (GRS).

If you are a UTS or KTP academic interested in jointly supervising PhD candidates, you can help organise this by:

  1. Identifying the PhD candidates you wish to co-supervise.
  2. Preparing a research proposal together. This should establish your research topic, milestones, and your visit schedule.
  3. PhD candidates from UTS should contact GRS to discuss their collaborative doctoral research plan.
  4. PhD candidates from a Key Technology Partner should apply to both their own institution's graduate research authority as well as GRS. They will need to show approval from both supervisors.
  5. Applications should be submitted to GRS before the session deadline.

For more information, check out the GRS candidate guide (PDF, 208 kB).

Having a PhD student who wants to pursue their own research will make you collaborate with the colleagues you've always wanted to work with. That was a really big advantage for me.

Those PhD students literally are your eyes and your ears. They're at the other university when you are not and vice-versa. I've discovered collaborative opportunities that I would never have seen, if not for my joint PhD students who were located at the other university.

Prof Elise van den Hoven, TU/e
