Institutional Visits and Exchanges

An Overseas institutional visit (OIV) is when a PGR attends at another institution overseas to carry out research work, collaboration or to undertake learning or training.

Placements are when a PGR attends non-higher education organisation to carry out work, project, collaboration which may or may not relate to their PhD research.  

If you are unsure whether your planned activity is a Placement or OIV please contact your Doctoral Academy.
