The duration of the joint training is 3 to 4 years (1.5 to 2 years at Shenzhen University and 1.5 to 2 years at the University of Wollongong). Upon successful completion, students will be awarded a PhD degree from the University of Wollongong. During the program, tuition fees are fully waived, and living allowances are provided. Outstanding students may be eligible to apply for the University of Wollongong’s academic scholarship (approximately AUD 27,000 per year).
