Australian Government Research Training Programme (RTP) Scholarship

If you apply for the Australian Government Research Training Programme (RTP) scholarship, you could stand to receive 28,854 Australian dollars per year from the Australian government.

This scholarship will cover your PhD studies for three and a half years and master’s studies for two years. You may pursue any field of study with this scholarship.

University International Postgraduate Award (UIPA)

Recipients of this award are entitled to similar benefits given to RTP scholars with the exception of the OSHC plan. The University International Postgraduate Award (UIPA) is funded by UNSW itself.
