King’s and Sydney join forces

The Schools of Arts and Humanities and Social Science and Public Policy at King's have cemented an esteemed partnership with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney, enabling an unparalleled opportunity for international student exchange and joint program initiatives between the two institutions. The landmark agreement sees two of the world's leading humanities and social science institutions, in two great global cities, joining forces to provide unique research and learning opportunities for their students. The multi-level partnership will foster closer research ties between the globally renowned faculties, ranging from informal workshops to visiting fellowships and externally funded research projects. The alliance will facilitate opportunities for undergraduate students to study at the partner institution. Both faculties are also committed to developing collaborative degrees at MA level and PhD level across a range of subjects. Professor Jan Palmowski, Head of the School of Arts and Humanities at King's, said: 'Together, our two universities offer unparalleled breadth across the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; but they also offer unique depth in areas ranging from medieval languages to classical performance, from digital culture to global history and from the history of philosophy to security studies.' The partnership was sealed following continued exchanges between the institutions, which included two previous visits to the University of Sydney by Professor Palmowski in June 2012 and earlier in August 2011.
