IPRS/SIRF Referee Reports
Applications are invited from international students for scholarships to undertake a master's by research or Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Western Australia.
Scholarships
There are two major scholarships schemes:
- International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS)
- UWA Scholarships for International Research Fees (SIRF)
These schemes seek to attract top quality international postgraduate students to areas in which the University has specialised research strengths and to support Australia's research effort.
Successful applicants can expect to become members of a research team, working under the direction of senior researchers and in an area which has attracted external resources.
All travel and relocation costs are the responsibility of the applicant.

- intend to enrol as a full-time candidate for a master's degree by research or a PhD degree
- will be commencing their course in the semester following the scholarship round in which they have successfully applied.
Conditions
