Admission and Enrolment
Before you apply online for a scholarship and/or admission, you will need to find the right research area, supervisor and program.
Please review the admissions and enrolment page for assistance.
Scholarship Applications
Around 300 scholarships are offered as part of the Major Round each year, with a limited number offered during the Mid-Year Round. Applying during the Major Round is the most effective way to maximise the chances of obtaining a scholarship, as students will be considered for every available scholarship in the round, for which they are eligible. Whilst the majority of postgraduate research scholarships are offered in the Major and Mid Year Rounds there are other available scholarships with their own individual application requirements and eligibility criteria, and you should review the Postgraduate Scholarships pages in order to identify any additional opportunities that may be relevant to your situation.
In 2011 The University of Adelaide implemented an online system for all Higher Degree by Research Admission and Scholarship Applications. If you wish to apply in the 2013 Major Round for admission and scholarship, or scholarship only, you must complete the online application form between the dates of 1 September 2012 to 31 October 2012.
Any applications lodged outside of these dates will not be considered as part of the Major Round.
