MIT Manipal has announced a collaboration with Deakin University, Australia, to launch a dual-degree programme. This initiative aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of their chosen field and enhance their career opportunities in the engineering and technology sectors. The dual-degree programme enables students to earn two globally recognised undergraduate qualifications from leading universities in four years. Students can choose their major from two discipline areas: Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering.
The programme combines modern theory with industry-standard skills. The 2-year BTech course at MIT and the 2-year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Deakin University equip students with the skills needed to create innovative solutions to real-world engineering problems. Dr. Anil Rana, Director, MIT, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating that it strengthens academic ties and expands the reach of education across continents, cultures, and knowledge fields.
MIT Manipal students who meet the eligibility criteria may be considered for the Deakin International Merit Scholarship (South Asia), which offers a 20% or 25% tuition fee waiver. The programme also offers seamless credit transfer between both institutions and a full-time student experience in India and Australia. Upon completion, students will be awarded two degrees: a BTech from MAHE Manipal and a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) from Deakin University, Australia.
