UniSQ offers an International PhD Stipend and Fee Scholarship for international students studying or commencing the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in 2025. Applications in all areas of research are welcome, but these should be aligned with UniSQ's flagship areas.
Students applying for a scholarship should discuss the flagship area most closely aligned to their proposed research with their potential supervisor and select this flagship in the application system.
Stipend and fee scholarships are applied for as a single application within the online portal and are not awarded separately.
Each flagship scholarship offers an optional Industry Stream, which requires a mandatory 60-day industry internship. Co-funded scholarships and industry-funded stipend top-ups are highly desirable. This stream requires a Letter of Support completed by your industry partner. Applicants and/or their prospective supervisor are responsible for identifying an industry partner. To qualify, continuing students must be within 18 months of starting full-time studies or 36 months of part-time studies as of December 2024. Consult the Industry Internship Coordinator before applying to ensure your internship meets UniSQ requirements.
