Benefits to researchers
This Dual PhD programme supports the development of world-class researchers by providing access to world-leading facilities, expertise and field environments across two institutions. A Dual PhD is much more than a period of research abroad which could be achieved simply as a visiting PhD student at a host institution. It provides a truly integrated educational experience supervised by an international team with access to two research environments for the benefit of your project.
The Keele-USM Dual PhD programme will enrich your doctoral studies, benefitting you as a researcher in multiple ways including:
- Award of a UK and Malaysian PhD
- Enhanced research training at both universities, including core training in research methods, skills and ethics; subject-specific courses; and continuing development through the Keele Doctoral Academy (Keele Doctoral Academy - Keele University)
- Access to first-class research facilities and resources
- Exposure to different research cultures, environments and methodologies
- International reach of research
- International fluency that will enable future developments in your field
- Enhanced employability and better networking opportunities for future job prospects.
