The Serious Games Research Network at Macquarie University (in Sydney, Australia) is looking to attract international PhD students interested in taking part in Macquarie’s Cotutelle and Joint Phd programs.

A candidate is jointly supervised by staff at each institution and upon successful completion of the program, a candidate graduates from both universities with a Doctor of Philosophy.
Macquarie University offers generous scholarships to a of high-quality candidates. The Cotutelle/Joint PhD Scholarship includes:
- Scholarship for tuition fees for up to 3 years
- Stipend while on campus at Macquarie University
- Travel Allowance
The total value of the Cotutelle/Joint PhD Scholarship is approx $160,000 (AUD) for international candidates depending on the length of candidature and stay at MQ.
