Research
Swinburne qualifications are highly regarded and research positions are prized by the academic community.
Swinburne offers a number of Scholarships to PhD and Masters by research candidates.
Step 1 - Making Sure You Qualify
To qualify for candidature for higher degree by research, you must have completed at least four years (or equivalent) of tertiary education studies at a high level of achievement. For example:
- A four year degree (e.g. Engineering, Information Technology, Education)
- A three year degree and an Honours year
- A three year degree and one year of a Masters by coursework
- A three year course and one year of a Masters preliminary or other qualifying program
- A three year degree and a postgraduate diploma
If you are already studying a Masters degree and wish to convert to a PhD, you will only be considered for a scholarship for a PhD program after advice from the Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).
