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
Plus students must demonstrate English Language proficiency: IELTS (Academic Module) of 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL 575 (paper-based) or 237 (computer-based) with TWE 5.0 or IBT score of 91 with writing score of 22, or two years full-time equivalent formal study in English.

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).
