UniSQ offers an International PhD Stipend and Fee Scholarship for international students studying or commencing the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in 2025. Applications in all areas of research are welcome, but these should be aligned with UniSQ's flagship areas.
Know more
Students applying for a scholarship should discuss the flagship area most closely aligned to their proposed research with their potential supervisor and select this flagship in the application system.
Stipend and fee scholarships are applied for as a single application within the online portal and are not awarded separately.
Each flagship scholarship offers an optional Industry Stream, which requires a mandatory 60-day industry internship. Co-funded scholarships and industry-funded stipend top-ups are highly desirable. This stream requires a Letter of Support completed by your industry partner. Applicants and/or their prospective supervisor are responsible for identifying an industry partner. To qualify, continuing students must be within 18 months of starting full-time studies or 36 months of part-time studies as of December 2024. Consult the Industry Internship Coordinator before applying to ensure your internship meets UniSQ requirements.
In addition to an industry stream, there are dedicated scholarships for women in STEMM, and students with disabilities.

It's gratifying to know that each piece of assessment is progressing you as a professional in the field, rather than ticking a box that says you've passed the course.
My PhD program began with two very important coursework subjects to help reinforce the choice and knowledge of selected research methodologies. My PhD supervisors have been very welcoming, providing me with a one-on-one orientation and individual support to face being a new student in Australia. The networking opportunities facilitated by the faculty have since added to my academic development and connected me with other liked-minded researchers from different universities.
The reasons why I chose UniSQ were access to facilities and local reach, and once I got to UniSQ I realised that we had world-class researchers and lecturers in the area.
Australia is a culturally diverse nation. At any UniSQ campus, you are guaranteed to find people from many countries, continents, cultures and ethnic groups. I always remain open-minded to build new friendships.
