• A scholarship funded by the University of Newcastle or the Commonwealth Government provides an annual living allowance of $27,596 per annum (2019 rate - indexed annually).
• Our scholarships for international students cover the cost of tuition fees, and in some cases include the cost of compulsory Overseas Student Health Cover. 
• All domestic students have their fees covered by the RTP, to a maximum of 4 years for PhD candidates and 2 years for MPhil students.

Requirement:

• meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement (IELTS of at least 6.5; 7.0 in some disciplines);
• meet the admission criteria for the qualification you are applying for – MPhil or PhD;
• have support from the School you will be enrolled with, i.e. the nominated supervisor in the form of a Pre-Identified Candidate (PIC) code.

A determination of your award will be made alongside your degree application. The assessment takes into account your academic qualifications, research credentials and prior experience.
