The University of Adelaide offers a number of Adelaide Scholarships International to outstanding international graduates from any country to commence their education via a Masters or Doctorate degree by research. Awards are available in all Discipline areas.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be international students who are acceptable to
commence a Masters or Doctorate by research degree at the University of Adelaide.- Citizens and Permanent Residents of Australia, and citizens of New Zealand are ineligible.
- Applicants who have applied for Australian permanent residency status, but have not yet received an outcome, can apply.
- Successful recipients are required to apply and enrol in
their intended program of study at The University of Adelaide as
‘international students’ to retain their scholarship.
- Applicants with a qualification in progress will not be eligible
for consideration until the qualification has been satisfactorily
completed (and acceptable evidence provided) or evidence of withdrawal
has been provided. - Applicants are required to provide evidence of meeting the University of Adelaide’s minimum English language proficiency requirements for direct entry by the application deadline.
- Applicants are required to have successfully completed at least
the equivalent of a First Class Australian Honours degree. (In
Australia an Honours degree is generally a one year qualification taken after an undergraduate degree and involves further study in a
particular discipline area. In some areas, Honours is available as part
of the final year of a four year undergraduate degree. It is
recognised as a prestigious qualification that further develops
research, writing and organisational skills. It also demonstrates an
ability to undertake high-level study. Achievement of a First Class
Honours degree indicates that the recipient performed at the highest
academic level and indicates that they have had an introduction to
independent research.) - International applicants must not hold a research qualification
regarded by the University of Adelaide to be equivalent to an
Australian Research Doctorate degree or, if undertaking a Research
Masters degree, not hold a research qualification regarded by the
University of Adelaide to be equivalent to or higher than an Australian
Research Masters degree. - Successful recipients must commence study at the University of
Adelaide in the semester the scholarship is offered. It is not possible
to defer the award. - International applicants are not eligible if they have already commenced the degree for which they are seeking an award.
- The offer of a scholarship is contingent upon a student not being
offered another award by the Commonwealth of Australia, the University of Adelaide, or an overseas sponsor. The University reserves the right to withdraw an offer of a scholarship at any time prior to enrolment if it is advised that an awardee has been offered a scholarship equal to or in excess of the financial value of the award offered by the University. - NOTE: If an applicant has previously been awarded an international
higher degree by research scholarship by the University of Adelaide,
and failed to successfully complete the corresponding academic
program, that applicant will not be reconsidered for any future
international higher degree by research scholarships.
