Australia: Hedley Bull Scholarship at Australian National University ANU

Overview

The Graduate Studies in International Affairs program offers up to four Hedley Bull Scholarships each year for full-time study in the Master of Arts (International Relations) commencing in semester one. Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the Master of Arts (International Relations).

When applying for the MA (International Relations), eligible applicants for the Hedley Bull Scholarship should include a covering letter indicating their interest in being considered for the scholarship and making the case for being granted one. The covering letter together with the application for the MA (International Relations) (including transcripts and three academic references) will be considered as the full application for the scholarship. There is no need to provide a separate application. The scholarship provides a full-fee waiver for three full-time sessions (semesters). This amounts to 48 units of graduate coursework and a 24-unit thesis session.

Closing date for receipt of complete application for scholarship: 31 October 2010

MA (International Relations) (MAIR) and Master of International Affairs (MIA)

Applicants for the MAIR and MIA should normally have obtained at least a Distinction average in their bachelor degree, or the equivalent. The degree should be in any discipline of the social sciences or the humanities.
