For the purpose of encouraging postgraduate research at
Victoria, the University offers scholarships to students about to commence a
full-time, research-focused Master's degree.
Over thirty scholarships shall be offered, consisting of a
$15,000 stipend, plus domestic fees. International students, other than those
from Australia will be liable to pay the difference between the full
international student fee and the domestic fee.
Selection criteria
Only those students enrolled solely for a 90 point thesis or above are eligible to apply. In some cases this will be Part 2 of a two-year Master's degree and will usually have the course code 591. Students who are enrolled in Master's degree programmes that have thesis or research components of less than 90 points, or who elect not to enrol for the solely by thesis option, but instead enrol in taught courses, internships, performance, portfolio, practicum, or other programme options, are eligible to apply for the Victoria Graduate Scholarships. Creative Writing candidates are eligible to apply for the Master's [by thesis] Scholarship.
