Eligibility Criteria/ Scholarship Guidelines

In order for one to be qualified, candidates are required to have successfully completed at least the equivalent of an Australian First Class Honors degree (this is a four-year degree with a major research project in the final year). All qualifying study programs must be successfully completed.  Scholarships will be given on academic merit and research potential. Extra-curricular achievements are not considered.

International candidates are expected to 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 possess a research qualification approved by the University of Adelaide to be equivalent to or higher than an Australian Research Masters degree.

International candidates who haven’t given any evidence of their meeting the minimum English language proficiency requirements for direct entry by the scholarship closing date, or who have completed a Pre-Enrollment English Program to meet the entry conditions for the intended program of study, aren’t qualified.

It is required of the candidates to enroll in the University of Adelaide as ‘international students’ and are expected to maintain ‘international student’ status for the duration of their enrollment in the University. Citizens and Permanent Residents of Australia, and citizens of New Zealand are all not qualified.
