Full Job Description
We look forward to welcoming you to UQ. To help you prepare, here are some things to be aware of.
Receiving Your Uq Living Stipend Scholarship
If you've been awarded a UQ-administered living stipend scholarship, your scholarship will be activated after you commence. You will then need to provide your bank account details so you can start receiving payments.
Living stipends are paid fortnightly, but it can take up to 6 weeks from your commencement to receive your first payment. Your first payment will include backdated payments from your commencement date. Ensure you budget accordingly to cover your costs prior to receiving this payment, including any bonds for rental accommodation.

Cost Of Living

It’s a good idea to plan out a budget, and to prepare some savings before you arrive. We suggest having at least $5,000 saved to cover you before you start receiving your living allowance scholarship.

Tuition Fees
Our student account system mySI-net will calculate your fees for each research quarter under the 'Financials' section.
After your scholarship is activated, you must pay any outstanding balance of fees by the fees due date. This includes the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF), which is not covered by scholarships.
Penalties apply for unpaid tuition fees after this time. Your enrolment in a research quarter is not confirmed until all fees are paid.
Support While You Study
During your time with us, you'll have access to a range of health, social and wellbeing support.
