International Research Attachment and Mobility Programme (PUTRA OUTREACH)

Universiti Putra Malaysia’s International Research Attachment and Mobility Programme (Putra Outreach) was created for local postgraduate students and academics/scholars in order to give them the opportunity to enhance their research experience at other reputable universities overseas.

The programme is specifically geared to enable postgraduate students gain relevant research skills as well as research/academic knowledge within an international research/academic culture. The experience is intended to help them build professional networks and become successful global professionals in their chosen careers and fields of expertise. These scholars are known as outbound scholars.

RESEARCH ATTACHMENT (Mobility For Outbound Scholars)

UPM’s postgraduate students and academics/scholars may apply directly for the overseas mobility programmes listed on the School of Graduate Studies’ website. The main purpose of this mobility programme is to provide participants with exposure to research at an international level.

There are two different programmes of outbound research attachment:

  1. The Internship programme

This programme is a short-term internship which may include industrial or work experience, clinical training, or community projects. Postgraduate students/scholars may undertake part of their internship (with appropriate learning outcomes) as overseas short-term training which enhances their study programme, giving it an international perspective.

  1. The Research programme

This programme is a research attachment with which postgraduate students/scholars may choose to conduct research projects at other external or overseas research institutions, universities, industries or communities. This is done via mutual agreement between supervisors or research collaborations between institutions.
