THE GO8 AND CHINA WORKING TOGETHER; STRONG AND SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH PARTNERS
In 2012, Monash University announced it had been granted a license to operate as a university in China, the first Australian university to do so. Monash partnered with Southeast University to establish the Southeast University-Monash University Joint Graduate School located in the Suzhou Industrial Park. The Graduate School offers a Joint PhD program in the fields of Arts, Engineering, Information Technology, Science and Business and Management. Students spend at least one year at Monash University in Australia, and are co-supervised by academics at both institutions. The Graduate School is complemented by a Joint Research Institute (JRI).
