Study for a PhD in Australia and the UK: We have FULLY FUNDED 3 year PhD studentships on the Aston Deakin Cotutelle Program (ADCP PhD) available for October 2025.

About the ADCP PhD Program

ADCP PhD is a partnership cotutelle doctoral training program between Aston University (Birmingham, UK) and Deakin University (Melbourne, Australia).

All studentships are co-funded and co-supervised between Aston and Deakin Universities, forming the foundations of a vibrant international network.

This offers an excellent opportunity for students to undertake research training in an international, collaborative environment, learning new skills and developing valuable networks.

Students will spend time at both institutions during their studies receiving a degree from both Aston and Deakin Universities on completion.
