Our program offers research training towards the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at two locations, with access to world-class expertise across two continents. This presents a fantastic opportunity to develop competencies beyond those typically acquired when undertaking the more traditional (single award) PhD. Graduate researchers have the ability to train in two expert laboratories in Melbourne and Bonn, build an international network of mentors and collaborators and experience other cultures to develop a truly global perspective.

The University of Bonn and the University of Melbourne have a rich history of academic excellence and outstanding achievements, with both institutions enjoying an exceptional reputation at home and abroad. Obtaining a joint PhD from two competitive and internationally recognised Universities positions our candidates at the forefront of the next generation of scientists and leaders and opens doors to a promising future. Bonn and Melbourne are wonderful places to study, and we are committed to providing our PhD candidates with rewarding and successful experiences.
