Partner Universities

Partner universities are assessed according to their research credentials and collaborative relationship with Macquarie University. They are assigned to one of the three ‘priorities’:

Priority 1: Priority cotutelle and joint PhD partners
  
Priority 2: Preferred cotutelle and joint PhD partners

Priority 3: Prospective cotutelle and joint PhD partners


Priority 1: Priority cotutelle and joint PhD partners         

Priority 1 universities are research-intensive universities with strong research collaboration relationships (or potential) with Macquarie University. For prospective joint PhD applicants from these universities, a cotutelle or joint PhD MQRES scholarship can be approved for award at any time for qualified applicants.
