Opportunity description
The University of Western Australia (UWA) is accepting applications for its Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Scholarships for 2027, a range of scholarships funded by the Australian Government, the university, and external organizations to support students wishing to pursue a research master’s degree or PhD in Australia.
These scholarships include opportunities specifically available to international students, most notably the Research Training Program (RTP) scholarships funded by the Australian Government, which may provide tuition fee coverage, an annual living stipend, and additional support for certain relocation and research-related costs. The university also offers other research scholarships for applicants who demonstrate outstanding research potential.
This opportunity is considered one of the notable research scholarship opportunities in Australia, as new international applicants submit a single application that combines admission to the research programme and scholarship consideration, without needing to submit a separate application to be considered for RTP scholarships.
Benefits
The HDR and RTP scholarships at the University of Western Australia may include:
- An annual living stipend of AUD 38,110, based on the 2026 rate.
- The possibility of receiving a tuition fee scholarship for international students, which is competitive and limited in number.
- Additional allowances to help cover certain research-related study costs, such as relocation expenses.
- The possibility of being considered for other UWA research scholarships available to students with strong research potential.
- Financial support that may cover, depending on the scholarship type, tuition fees, living expenses, travel, research costs, and relocation expenses.

- Apply for an eligible Higher Degree by Research (HDR) programme at the University of Western Australia (UWA).
- Meet the academic admission requirements for the selected research master’s or PhD programme.
