Opportunities from James Cook University

For the March 2027 intake, JCU's international HDR scholarship page lists a submission deadline of 1 September 2026. JCU's HDR application instructions separately warn that incomplete candidature applications containing a scholarship component will not be accepted after 31 August 2026, so applicants should submit a complete application by 31 August to be safe. The International Research Training Program Scholarship lists a 2027 living allowance of AUD 37,500 per year, tuition fees and single overseas health cover; the Postgraduate Research Scholarship lists AUD 37,500 per year plus tuition fees. Typical duration is 3.5 years for PhD and 2 years for MPhil.

International applicants must meet the entry requirements for their chosen HDR course, meet JCU English Language Requirement Band 2, satisfy scholarship conditions, secure a suitable advisor, and submit a complete HDR candidature application. New international candidates indicate scholarship consideration within the HDR application; a separate scholarship application is not required for the main JCU HDR scholarship consideration process.
