Established since 2009
Dual PhD
Programme
The collaboration benefits both UM and the partner universities in many ways. Among them is the shared IP as well as joint
publications. In the long term, the collaboration expands to other areas as well as other researchers. So the collaboration does not
stop when the duration of the PhD is over. The candidates and supervisors from both institutions act as a conduit for collaborative
projects that will go beyond the duration of the programme.
Each of the collaboration is unique as it is tailor-made according to the requirements of each institution and researchers. With this
programme, candidates spend less money as compared to studying full-time overseas. Candidates will spend half the time overseas
and the other half in UM. The supervisors too have the opportunity to conduct research visits at each other’s university.
To date, 17 candidates have benefitted from this programme. Five successfully graduated in 2013 and 2014. Currently there are 12
active candidates who are pursuing the Dual PhD studies in the various partner universities. The candidates who graduate from the
programme will receive either two certificates, both certificates must acknowledge the collaboration; or a single certificate with two
institution names
Currently, UM has established this programme with
15 partner universities
from all over the world

University of Malaya
is always looking to innovate. True to its
motto in being a “leader in research and innovation”, UM’s Dual PhD
programme is just an example of how it pursues higher education
innovations to the next level. It has succeeded to graduate five
candidates in the last two years in partnership with University of
Sydney, a member of the prestigious Group of 8 universities in
Australia and Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), a young
up-and-coming university in the UK.
