A new fully-funded HDR or Masters by Research scholarship by Swinburne University of Technology, in partnership with the Australian Government, will enable students in Southeast Asia to further their research in key global priority areas.
Engineering, science, IT, health, medicine, economics, business, education, and digital media are among the areas students could have their tuition fees waived as part of the new co-financing pilot program for research Masters projects.
The Australia for ASEAN Scholarship will help address issues of critical importance around the world and tackle research and job shortages.
Swinburne Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research Professor Karen Hapgood says, “I am thrilled that Swinburne University of Technology is a part of this pilot program which prioritises Masters research in areas that are urgently needed around the world”.
“As a globally leading university defined and inspired by technology and innovation, supporting students in Southeast Asia who are also passionate about creating a better world where people and technology work together is incredibly important.”
Swinburne will provide six of the 110 scholarships, which will be offered to all Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states, beginning in 2025.
Swinburne will fully fund the student’s tuition fees in the first iteration, with the Australian Government supporting all other costs.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade will work with Swinburne to develop an enriching program and effective alumni engagement following the degree.
Professor Hapgood is excited for the scholarship recipients to begin their study at Swinburne and contribute to areas of global importance.
“I look forward to welcoming the scholarship recipients to Swinburne in 2025 and watching them help boost our already expanding research capabilities.”
