PhD Residency
The maximum time limit for completion of the PhD program is seven years.
MIT Involvement
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a primary partner and stakeholder in the creation of Masdar Institute. MIT’s involvement in Masdar Institute’s PhD program enables some Masdar Institute doctoral candidates to spend up to one semester at MIT, where they take courses (a maximum of three courses per semester) on campus as proposed by the relevant Research Supervisory Committee (RSC) and approved by the Graduate Education Council (GEC). This creates synergy and collaboration between the research agendas of both institutes. In order for students to be able to spend time at MIT, they need to gain admittance to MIT as special students, and must be eligible and able to get a visa to the US.
