International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS)

 

About IPRS

The main objectives of the IPRS program are to:

  • attract top quality international postgraduate students to areas of research strength in Australian higher education providers; and
  • support Australia's research effort.

The IPRS program enables international students to undertake a postgraduate research qualification in Australia and gain experience with leading Australian researchers.

Scholarships are open to international students of all countries (except New Zealand) and are available for a period of two years for a Masters by research degree or three years for a Doctorate by research degree. The scholarship covers tuition fees and health cover costs for scholarship holders, and health cover costs for their dependants.

Applications for a scholarship need to be made directly to a participating university. Universities are responsible for determining the selection process by which scholarships are allocated to applicants.  Contact details for Australian universities may be obtained from www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/Sia/en/Links/Universities.htm      

The allocation of IPRS grants to participating universities is based on a formula that is reflective of their overall research performance.

Enquiries

For Applicants:  All enquiries regarding IPRS awards need to be directed to the university at which the applicant wishes to conduct their postgraduate research.
