will be reduced by any previous candidature. Current students are not required to submit any referees reports
or academic transcripts, although a letter of support from their supervisor
commenting upon progress is required.Current Progress Reports will also be taken into account.
Applicants should address each of the
Research Potential categories, as mentioned below, if they have relevance.
Selection Process and Timing
The Research Degrees and Scholarships Committee will meet in the first two weeks of December to rank all candidates.The first round of scholarship offers will be posted in
late-December.
Applicants for the APA are assessed on academic merit. Applicants for MURS are ranked on
academic merit and research potential.
An applicant’s ranking will not be affected by age, or having applied to another
institution. Competition for awards is intense, and generally only applicants
with an Honours 1 or Equivalent will gain a first round offer.
The Research Degrees and Scholarships Committee in consultation with the Division
of Study will allocate each applicant a score.This score will comprise points gained from undergraduate record,
graduate qualifications and research potential and, where appropriate, a score
for being in an area of research strength.
The following information will help in the assessment of your individual research
potential:
Publications. The emphasis on sole or senior authorship in refereed
journals and/or appropriate books, but information on any publication
should be detailed. This might also include publications in non-refereed
forums: journals, technical reports, conference proceedings, conference
posters, web based items, performances, or works of art.
Relevant work experience. Please provide details on skills acquired as part
of sustained relevant work experience in the area of proposed research, which
directly bears on and enhances your research capacity. If you are
