Eligibility and Benefits:

Domestic applicants must be enrolled full-time in an HDR program and should hold a First Class Honours degree, a H2A (or equivalent), or a Master’s degree with a substantial research thesis component. International applicants must meet the academic requirements for their chosen HDR program and provide evidence of English language proficiency as part of their eligibility.

Successful candidates will benefit from the Research Training Program (RTP) stipend, which provides a tax-free living allowance of A$37,000 per year. The scholarship supports doctoral candidates for up to 3.5 years, ensuring sufficient time to complete high-quality research projects.

At Murdoch, you can apply for a postgraduate research degree throughout the year. If your degree involves a standalone research project (such as a PhD), you'll be able to commence at any time of year. If your degree includes coursework, you’ll need to commence at the beginning of semester. 

Before you apply to complete a research degree, please ensure that:

• You’re eligible to apply. Make sure to also check the course pages for course-specific requirements. 
• If you’re an international student, you’ve submitted an expression of interest and been invited to apply for a research degree. 
• You've found a potential supervisor. 
• You’re clear on your research topic and have written your research proposal.

To apply, candidates must first prepare all required documents, including a completed online application form, academic transcripts, a Curriculum Vitae (CV), a detailed research proposal, and completed referee reports. Once ready, applicants must email all required materials to the Graduate Research Office at graduateresearchdegrees@murdoch.edu.au before the closing date.
Selection is primarily based on academic merit and research potential. Applicants will be ranked according to their academic achievements, previous research experience, and how well their proposed project aligns with Murdoch University’s research strengths.
