Overview
UWA's School of Engineering has an open research scholarship opportunity on terahertz MEMS, with a stated stipend value of AUD 35,000 per annum and eligibility for suitably qualified domestic and international applicants pursuing a doctorate or master's research degree.
Complete scholarship details
The project aims to develop tunable silicon-germanium-carbon thin-film technology for terahertz spectroscopic imaging, target recognition, chemical-composition sensing and future high-bandwidth communications. UWA lists the opportunity as open from 1 February to 31 October 2026, while noting that it can close early once suitable candidates are identified.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must meet UWA research-degree admission requirements. The project page states a preferred background in Physics, Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering or a related field. Both domestic and international applicants are eligible; the page also identifies separate RTP scholarship-round dates for each group.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified against UWA's official Higher Degree by Research scholarship portal on 27 Aug 2026. The page lists status Open, project close date 31 Oct 2026, AUD 35,000 per annum stipend, domestic and international eligibility, and advises international applicants that the relevant RTP round runs 1 Jul–31 Aug while the domestic round runs 1 Sep–31 Oct. UWA warns that the project may end early once suitable candidates are identified; machine deadline is therefore left null.
