In keeping with the push for international collaboration in education, two new programmes will be jointly offered by Deakin University from Australia and Symbiosis International University in Pune starting 2024.
S B Mujumdar, founder and president of Symbiosis Society, and Iain Martin, president and Vice Chancellor of Deakin University, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in this regard on Saturday.
An accelerated integrated master’s programme in Liberal Arts will be offered by the two institutes. Classes for the first seven semesters (three-and-a-half years) will be conducted at Symbiosis and in the next two years the student will complete the programme at the Deakin University campus in Australia.

Another course will be a dual degree in Business Analytics where the students at the Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies (SCMS-B), a Symbiosis International-affiliated institute at Bengaluru, will spend the final two years of the course at Deakin University.
The students will be granted scholarships of up to 25 per cent in tuition fee on the basis of merit.
The students will have the opportunity to work in Australia during and after the course in accordance to the post-study work rights policy of the country.
