Applications for awards close on 30 September. There is a single application form for admission to graduate courses, PhD scholarships and Overseas Postgraduate Research Scholarships. The Australian Government provides a limited number of scholarships for international students to study in Australia. The Department of Employment, Education and Training and Youth Affairs administers postgraduate scholarships for students from developed countries. Some Australian Government scholarships cover full tuition, travel and living costs, and others cover tuition fees only.
Scholarships are available for graduate study at all levels.
Applicants must write for application forms and information to the Australian diplomatic mission or the Australian Education Centre in their home country. Every international student and his or her family must have medical and hospital insurance while in Australia. It is a condition of the Overseas Student Visa issued by the Australian Government. The annual charge is included in the course fees. Details of the scheme and benefits available can be obtained from the nearest Australian diplomatic mission or Australian Education Centre or from the University.
