How to apply

Step 1: check your eligibility

Monash University offers a large range of research degrees. Once you know the degree you are interested in, check your eligibility for the course and a scholarship.

Our scholarship rounds are very competitive. Most scholarships require the equivalent of a first-class honours degree from Monash University,

You’re assessed for all scholarships and grants for which you are eligible when you apply.

Step 3: apply for a course and scholarship

You apply for our research degrees and scholarships online using the same application form.

You register first and can then apply in stages as you gather the information you need.
 
Your online application options are:

  • course and scholarship if you’re eligible for both
  • course only if you’re ineligible for a scholarship
  • scholarship only if you’re already a Monash research student.

Don’t forget to refer to our step-by-step guide if you need help.

 

Step 2: find a supervisor and research area

Investigate your many research options at Monash and identify potential supervisors and faculties.

Discuss your research proposal with your chosen supervisor and faculty. Find out who can help you to apply.
