PhD Scholarships from Newcastle University Australia for 2014

By onlinephd |

Reputed as the best academic institution for research, teaching and study, Newcastle University commits itself to strive hard in providing its students with excellent education and the best learning experience. It sees to it that all its programs help mold students to become effective in whatever career they may pursue and live after their graduation to be the best in the community as a whole. This can be manifested in the programs they are offering along with the student aid programs for the financially incapacitated, but deserving students. This is the primary reason why it has developed its PhD scholarships for these individuals. And for 2014, it is offering three international scholarships namely the International Postgraduate Research Scholarships or IPRS, the University of Newcastle International Postgraduate Research Scholarships or UNIPRS and the Newcastle Postgraduate Research Scholarship or UNRS External.

The IPRS are awarded by the Australian Government’s Department of Immigration, Industries, Science and Research or DIISR to international students pursuing their academic career in research programs at universities based in the country such as Newcastle University. These PhD scholarships pay for the full tuition fee as well as the medical insurance of the successful candidates for three years in doctoral degree and two years in master’s degree. Scholars are also entitled for a living allowance, a thesis allowance, and a relocation allowance. They are open for application by students coming from other countries except Australia and New Zealand or those who are permanent residents of Australia. Applicants are required to provide English proficiency with acceptable scores in IELTS and TOEFL.

UNIPRS are scholarships which receive funding from the university’s Research Division. These PhD scholarships provide scholars with living allowance, Overseas Students Health Cover payment, and tuition fees. They are offered for two years in Master’s degree and three years in PhD degree. Applications for these study grants are only accepted not later than August 31, 2013.

As the name implies, UNRS External receives funding from external sources to become available all year round and can be accessed at www.jason.edu.au/. This scholarship is open for international and domestic students and tenable for three years in PhD degree and two years in Master’s degree. However, such duration of funding is still subjected to the satisfactory progress of the students in the academics. It covers living allowance, thesis allowance, and relocation allowance.

Should you be interested in any of these three PhD scholarships, you have to comply with the eligibility requirements set by the University of Newcastle. They include completion of at least four years in undergraduate studies and achievement of honors in the class or its equivalent. Non-English speaking applicants are required to get a minimum TOEFL score of 575 and a minimum of 6.5 IELTS score. The university also clarifies that applicants for these grants will not receive support from any RHD scholarship when they are already a holder of a research doctoral degree or its equivalent, UNRS should they already receive an equivalent study grant for six months and above, and support for a Master’s degree research if they already have this degree or its equivalent.
