Information for prospective PhD students and postdoctoral fellows:

International PhD students

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.

Information about applications is available at the following web sites;
