Value and duration: The scholarship is valued at A$27,000 per annum for 3 years.
Eligibility: To be considered for scholarship you:
1. Must meet RMIT’s entry requirements for the Research Programs.
2. Should be an Australian/New Zealand citizen or Australian Permanent Resident. For the case of exceptional study profile (excellent GPA, research and development skills, etc.) we might consider an international applicant. Note, that an international applicant at RMIT should pay annual tuition fee AU$33,600.
Strictly speaking, to be eligible for PhD study, you need to have at least 4years Bachelor degree with Honours or Master degree with a research component. Another option would be to have publications in top-ranked venues.
However, you might try to apply for a Master by Research study (ILC project allows this option), its requirements are less strict and you might have some chances there. Then, in the case you have good results within the first year of Master by Research study, you might be eligible to transfer to PhD from Master by Research.
