The Australian University (AU) has recently signed a collaboration agreement with Central Queensland University Australia (CQUniversity) to offer joint graduate programs and scholarships.
These graduate programs (Master of Management for Engineers, Master of Research and PhD) and scholarships are set to commence during the Academic Year 2023/2024 and are under the supervision of both universities.
The graduate programs aim to support research priorities that are of mutual interest to both universities and will likely include topics in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics, Data Science, Information and Communication Technologies, Cyber Security, Food Security, Digital Transformation, Business Management, E-marketing, Clean and Renewable Energy, Water and Environment, and Health. Additional research areas may also be considered if there is a demonstrated alignment with the research priorities of both universities and/or with the research objectives of relevant external organizations such as the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS).
