MUHS invites applications for exchange program with University of Sydney

NASHIK: The Maharashtra University of Health Science (MUHS) has invited applications for PhD-level studies scholarships under a bilateral collaboration with the University of Sydney for the student clinical placement exchange programme.

Arun Jamkar, vice-chancellor of MUHS, said: "Candidates from the state having a minimum qualification of MBBS may apply for the programme. Two candidates will be selected through an examination and they will get a scholarship of $8,000. They will be sent to the University of Sydney for a period of four months."

The university had entered into an agreement with Sydney Medical School, Australia last year to boost education, training and research collaboratively. The agreement encourages exchange of faculties and students from both the universities. It will also conduct joint research on HIV, head and spondylitis cancer, carcinoma cervix and other subjects.

Jamkar said, "Chances like these help students develop new perspectives in the field of research and explore new avenues in medicine. The qualification earned will also open new prospects in countries like US, where the demand is huge."

The vice chancellor added that the students will attempt to understand global health issues, conduct research and find solutions for them. The scholarship is entirely sponsored by the University of Sydney and all the academic expenses of the students will be borne by it.

Detailed information about the process has been displayed on the MUHS website and students may apply through the website.
