The expressions of interest for Masters of Research (MRes) 2021 Mid-year intake is now closed.
The Master of Research (MRes) course is a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) program which enables Honours students to expand their Honours research project into a Masters level project. In doing so students can obtain a research Masters qualification by completing one year of study in addition to their Honours year.
Eligibility
Current Curtin students enrolled in the final unit of their honours program can apply. E.g. those who have completed their honours program in SEM, 1 2021.
Those who have already been awarded their Honours degree or are enrolled in an embedded honours program are ineligible to apply.
Scholarship details
Under the Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP), Australian and New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents undertaking higher degrees by research are supported with a Fee Offset scholarship automatically. International MRes applications that meet eligibility requirements for entry into the program will be considered for a Fee Offset Scholarship. There is no separate scholarship application process as the required information will be collected from the expression of interest form.
Successful applicants will receive a tuition fee offset with 8 months living stipend Scholarship for their study
How to apply
Applicants will be considered based on their honours score and project plan feasibility.
To apply, current students must:
- Seek support from their supervisor
- complete and submit an expression of interest form to GRS@curtin.edu.au no later than 5th July 2021; and
- Complete an eApplication by 19th July 2021 for admission into their chosen Master of Research course.
Important: Successful applicants of the MRes Scholarship are agreeing to forgo conferral of their Honours degree in place of extending their studies into a Masters of Research. If a student has submitted an expression of interest for this scholarship program they will have a sanction preventing graduation from their honors applied to their student account.
If you have submitted an expression of interest and wish to change your mind and graduate with your Honours award instead of commencing the MRes program, please notify ROC.GRS@curtin.edu.au prior to your graduation deadline. This will ensure time to complete the required application to graduate.
