It was extended in 2012 to include Nanjing University (NJU), in 2013 to include Zhejiang University (ZJU) and in 2016 and called the UWA - China Research Training Program.

The was renamed the UWA International Research Internship Program (IRIP) to reflect growing partnerships with universities around the world.
