Scholarship Award: The IPRS covers international tuition fees and compulsory health cover, for up to three years for a full-time Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and for up to two years for a full-time Masters of Philosophy (MPhil). In addition to the international tuition fees covered under the IPRS program, Macquarie University offers IPRS awardees a living allowance stipend, valued at $26,288 per annum tax exempt (2016 rate) which is paid as a fortnightly stipend. Macquarie University usually supplements these scholarship places on offer with its own internally funded scheme, the Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarship (MQRES). The MQRES scheme is a Doctoral (PhD) scholarship program that aims to support exceptional research students. Macquarie also offers a limited number of scholarships to international Master of Research (MRes) candidates applying for an MRes/PhD ‘bundle’ (i.e. MRes Year 2 and 3-year PhD) through the competitive IPRS round each year. For these successful awardees, the MRes Year 2 scholarship is funded by the University (International Research Training Pathway scheme (iRTP)). Candidates will be awarded a provisional PhD offer, and they will be considered for a 3 year PhD scholarship funded by the University on a competitive basis upon successful completion of their MRes Year 2.
