Full description, requirements, and what to expect

High-achieving candidates have a great opportunity to undertake fully financed Master’s or PhD research in Australia with the Deakin University RTP and DUPR Scholarships 2026. Both domestic and foreign applicants who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and research promise are eligible for these competitive awards.

While Deakin University funds the Deakin University Postgraduate Research Scholarship (DUPR), the Australian Government funds the Research Training Program (RTP). Both are intended to help graduate researchers by paying for tuition and living expenses so that students can concentrate entirely on their work. Both programs have a rigorous, merit-based selection process, and only the most deserving applicants are given RTP Scholarships.

Research-driven and internationally renowned, Deakin University is renowned for its effect on research, innovation, and solid industry ties. Modern facilities, knowledgeable faculty, and a lively academic atmosphere are all available to students at campuses spread across Victoria.
