English proficiency via IETLS testing forms part of the requirements.
There are a number of scholarship schemes to financially support students undertaking study towards a PhD within our group at Monash University. The scholarships are very competitive and generally, at least High Distinction (HD, H1) or equivalent mark (>85 %) for undergraduate studies is required for success. There are two general types of scholarships available: scholarships awarding a living allowance and tuition-paying scholarships which cover course fees for international students. Note that all international applicants are subject to annual course fees. Please see the links below for information for domestic and international students, requirements and relevant dates. Note that some countries also offer scholarship schemes to nationals for students to undertake a PhD within Australia.
