Scholarships

PhD and Master of Pharmaceutical Science applicants and candidates

As a research applicant or student you are eligible to apply for a non-taxable stipend or living allowance ($20,427AUD for 2009). If you are an International applicant, student tuition fee scholarship opportunities are also available.

The competition for scholarships is intense. Applicants must demonstrate that their qualifications and experience are the equivalent of a Bachelor degree at an Honours level of H1 or equivalent. If you do not have a H1 grade you will need excellent results from your undergraduate degree/s and/or postgraduate degree/s as well as combinations of the following:

• Publications in refereed journals;
• Conference abstracts;
• Reports;
• Patents;
• Academic prizes;
• Essentially, any evidence that demonstrates research proficiency and experience

Scholarship opportunities (including scholarships for international applicants ) are available.

Applications for candidature in research degrees at the faculty can be considered at any time during the year. However, the on-line application process for scholarships opens from mid August and the closing date is 31 October. Results are announced in mid December for scholarships commencing in the new year period.
