You
first need to apply for admission to a PhD degree at the University of
Melbourne, and also for a scholarship to cover your fees and living expenses
(an IPRS scholarship). Competition for IPRS scholarship is intense, and you
will need a good first-class Honours degree or equivalent. Please note that I
am not permitted to use research grants to pay international student fees, so
without an IPRS or similar scholarship from your home government I cannot
support your application.
