Overseas students and non-residents
Access to the Department's research degree programs can be gained via the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) scheme.
The purpose of the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) Scheme is to attract top quality overseas postgraduate students to areas of research strength in higher education institutions and to support Australia's research effort.
The program offers students the opportunity to obtain a postgraduate qualification and to gain experience with leading Australian researchers. Successful applicants study in areas of research strength in which an institution has concentrated its research resources and has attracted external funding.
IPRS scholarships cover tuition fees at individual institutions and health insurance premiums for a period of two years for a Masters Research Degree and three years for a PhD degree, with a possible extension in certain circumstances. Further information is available from DEST (Department of Education, Science and Training). For information and to receive application forms, contact the International Office.
