The Australian government’s Endeavour IPRS program provides tuition fees and is available to top quality international postgraduate students who wish to enrol in a research degree in Australian universities. The studies undertaken must be in subject areas identified as part of the University current and emerging research strengths.
Applications are assessed on academic merit and research potential. In addition to the Endeavour IPRS, the University of Sydney awards International Postgraduate Award (IPA) to Endeavour IPRS holders. The IPA is a living allowance/stipend scholarship awarded to all Endeavour IPRS holders.
