Eligibility Criteria
The scheme is open to both domestic and international applicants, but you need to fit the research-degree profile UQ is funding. Here's what that looks like in practice: You're applying for a PhD, an MPhil, or a research-focused professional doctorate at UQ. You meet UQ's academic entry requirements for higher-degree research, which usually means a strong honours result or an equivalent record with a research component. You've identified a supervisor in your field and your enrolling school or institute is willing to nominate you. Nomination matters: the award runs through the enrolling unit.
