Overview
The Yarramundi Scholarship scheme aims to strengthen and support Indigenous participation in higher degree research at UWS. A number of scholarships are available for candidates seeking admission to higher degree research at either Masters Honours or doctoral level.
ADMISSION
This application constitutes your application for both admission to the course and a scholarship. Applicants need to demonstrate prior research experience, either through an appropriate course of study, such as Bachelor Honours, a research masters degree, a postgraduate coursework degree that includes a substantial research component, or a coursework degree and additional research experience or output.
Applicants claiming academic equivalence for admission must present supporting documentation. You should address knowledge of research methodology and the ability to undertake academic writing. You may also present information about specialist knowledge and skills relevant to the area of study.
Any applicants who are hoping to transfer from another university (with or without scholarship) should be aware they
may not be able to ‘restart’ their maximum time period at UWS. If you are in this category you should confirm how much time you will be allocated at UWS. New students will be allocated a maximum of four years for doctorates and two years for masters (full time), or the part-time equivalent, in which to complete the degree.
Please refer to the web for full details of the UWS Admission Criteria:

Other key criteria for assessment will be:
• The quality of the research proposal
• The benefit of the proposed research to the discipline

• An applicant’s approach to ethical issues
• The proposed supervisor’s track record in higher degree supervision
