Double-Badged PhD Degrees

Where a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with provision for the offering of double-badged degree programs exists between the University of Adelaide and a partner institution, it is possible for a PhD student to undertake his/her program jointly at both institutions. In this event, the names and badges of both the University of Adelaide and the partner institution will appear on the testamur awarded following conferral of the degree.

It is important to note that an agreement to offer double-badged degree program(s) with a partner institution will only be established where the University of Adelaide is satisfied that the polices and procedures governing doctoral students at the partner institution are of an equivalent standard, and where it has been established that sufficient demand exists. The University will not establish an MOU for an individual student.

The policy on the administration and award of double-badged PhDs is available on the web at: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/1184
