IIT Roorkee University of Calgary Joint Doctoral Degree Programme

The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) and the University of Calgary, Canada, have signed an agreement to launch a Joint Doctoral Degree Programme. The partnership will give PhD students an opportunity to work with faculty members at both institutions and gain international research exposure.

The IIT Roorkee University of Calgary Joint Doctoral Degree Programme will support joint supervision, student mobility and collaborative research. Students enrolled under the programme will be able to spend part of their doctoral study at the partner institution while working towards a jointly recognised doctoral degree.

The new collaboration expands IIT Roorkee's international academic partnerships and creates another pathway for doctoral research with a foreign university. Under the IIT Roorkee Joint Doctoral Degree Programme, students can benefit from academic guidance and research facilities available at both institutions.

IIT Roorkee's existing framework for joint doctoral programmes requires students to meet the admission requirements of their home institution and have supervisors at both institutions. Students are also required to spend at least six months at the host institution during the programme.

What IIT Roorkee University of Calgary Partnership Means for PhD Students

The IIT Roorkee University of Calgary partnership will allow doctoral students to gain experience in an international research environment. Students can work under supervisors from both institutions and take part in collaborative research during their doctoral programme.

IIT Roorkee's joint-degree framework also states that students pay tuition fees at their home institution. The joint doctoral model requires students to complete the degree requirements of their home institution, with the programme recognised as having been completed jointly with the partner institution.

IIT Roorkee PhD Students to Get Global Research Exposure

The joint PhD programme is expected to strengthen research links between India and Canada while giving doctoral scholars access to wider academic networks. The collaboration can also support student exchanges and research projects involving faculty members from both universities.

The University of Calgary's joint-degree framework similarly provides for doctoral students to study and conduct research at both institutions, with supervision from both sides and a minimum six-month period at the collaborating institution.
