The scheme offers students the opportunity to obtain a postgraduate qualification and to gain experience with leading Australian researchers. Successful applicants must be enrolled in areas of research concentration where the university has research strength and has concentrated its research resources.

There will be costs to face, whether for books, rent or just general living expenses. A scholarship or grant may be the answer for those who don't have the necessary financial resources.
