International Postgraduate Awards (UIPA) are awarded on academic merit and research capacity to suitably qualified graduates from any country except Australia and New Zealand. The scholarship will cover tuition fees and provide a living allowance, normally for a period of two years for a Masters research degree, and three and a half years for a PhD degree. Compulsory health insurance is covered for IPRS holders. Information on how to apply is available online . Further information may be obtained from the Graduate Research School .
International students from certain countries are eligible for a UNSW/home country joint scholarship. Please follow the instructions carefully, these applications usually need to go through both UNSW and your home country and in the right sequence.
If your supervisor has a stipend to cover your living expenses, you may be eligible for a Tuition Fee Scholarship to cover your living expenses. Supervisors most likely to have a stipend available are those recently awarded large research grants .
For students from certain developing countries, the Australian International Development Assistance Bureau provides John Crawford Scholarships. A brochure of such countries is available from Australian Embassies and Consulates. Note that in some countries applications close early in March. There are other forms of aid available to students from developing countries, such as scholarships from organisations like the World Bank.
