Curtin University and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have collaborated on a new doctoral degree program, which will allow some of India’s brightest postgraduate students to study in Australia.
The agreement was signed by Curtin University Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Director Professor Subhasis Chaudhuri, and builds on Curtin’s existing collaborative PhD agreements with the Indian Institutes of Technology in Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati, Kanpur, and Dhanbad (formerly known as the Indian School of Mines).
Curtin University Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research Excellence Professor Garry Allison said the agreements offer doctoral students the opportunity to study at both Curtin and the respective Indian institution during the course of their research.
The collaborative programs are focused in the science and engineering fields of mathematics, biological sciences, mathematics, data and engineering, as well as business and management areas.
The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is recognised as a world leader in the field of engineering education and research.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
