About the position
Charles Darwin University Research Training Scheme (URTS) Fee Offset
scholarships
Several fully funded Masters and PhD scholarship positions for
international students are currently available at Charles Darwin University
via the Charles Darwin University Research Training Scheme (URTS)
Fee Offset Program 2024/25
The Charles Darwin University Research Training Scheme (URTS) Fee
Offset Program 2024 covers full tuition fees for eligible applicants without
a living stipend. If looking for living stipend support, the applicant must
apply for the CDU Australian Government RTP Stipend Scholarship. The RTP
stipend scholarships provide living stipend support paid every fortnight,
sick leave, maternity leave, relocation allowance etc. Both scholarships can
be applied simultaneously.
The URTS Fee Offset program is open for international students interested
to undertake a full-time MSc or PhD by research, and have been awarded an
Australian Government RTP Stipend for living support. International HDR
candidates who are not awarded an Australian Government RTP Stipend can
however still apply for a URTS Fee Offset.
The URTS Fee Offset program is available within any research field of study
across the University. The scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis
and aim to attract international students with outstanding research
potential and academic achievements. The URTS scholarships will provide a
full-tuition cover for the duration of the study. Applicants can apply
for RTP stipend scholarships for living support. RTP stipends will
provide living stipend support paid every fortnight, sick leave, maternity
leave, relocation allowance etc.
