You are here

Graduate students are able to undertake study in the PhD (3-4 year program) and the MPhil (2 year degree program). These students in the Research School of Biology (RSB) are enrolled in one of three Graduate Research Fields.

Academic support

RSB offers an excellent research environment and provides students with a high level of support as they work on their research project. RSB has over 70 Group Leaders offering  HDR projects  in areas covering a wide range of biology, and our graduates hold important positions in academia, industry and government agencies throughout the world. All HDR students in the School have, in addition to a primary supervisor, an expert supervisory panel that provides them with support and advice throughout their degree. Each student is also provided with:

• A new computer
• $3,000 (for PhD students) or $2,000 (MPhil) to support travel to conferences

For all domestic (Australian and New Zealand citizens) and International PhD students on full scholarships the Group is allocated up to $5,000 per year for up to four years to support the student’s research costs. The Group support for MPhil students will be $5,000 for up to two years.

Entry to the HDR program is open to applicants who have a comparable Bachelor degree, and a strong research background with either the equivalent of an Australian Honours degree (includes a 10,000 word thesis) or a Master degree with the equivalent thesis component, or alternatively an equivalent publication history.

Prerequisites

Applicants should be of a high scholastic calibre and should have a capacity for research.

Applicants for research degree scholarships must hold a bachelor degree with at least upper second class Honours, although competition is such that applicants usually have to hold a first class Honours degree to be competitive (and for some scholarships, this is mandatory), or a Master by coursework or a Graduate Diploma (which must be completed at a level equivalent to first or upper second-class Honours) degree from a recognised University.

Unless your previous tertiary-level studies were undertaken in English in (for example) Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or the United States of America, you will normally have to sit for either the International English Language Testing System (IELTS - overall 6.5 with no band less than 6.0) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL - 570 with TWE 4.5). Some programs may require higher scores.

If you have any questions about your application for admission and where it is up to, you can contact  ANU Admissions Office .

Research program applications are accepted at any time of the year, however there may be deadlines associated with scholarships that should be considered. For this reason, applicants are strongly recommended to apply for both admission and scholarship, before the following deadlines:

HDR Scholarships post thesis submission

From 15 May 2024 with the publication of the new HDR Scholarships procedure , the process for HDR stipends post-thesis submission have changed to allow for some HDR Scholarship holders to continue to receive HDR stipend payments post-thesis submission.  Note this is only applicable to candidates who have submitted their thesis early (prior to 3.5 years full-time equivalent for PhD candidates, 1.5 years for MPhil candidates).  Amendments to the HDR Scholarships procedure are in the process of being approved which will contain additional details to clarify the changes. Conditions of Award for HDR scholarships are in the process of being reviewed and updated for this change. The following outlines how the changes will be applied, including the types are scholarships that are included, what approvals are required (if any), and general FAQ's. 

What has changed?

• 3.5 years FTE years for an PhD program, or
• 1.5 years FTE for an MPhil program

How long will the stipend payments continue post-thesis submission after approval?

The earliest of the following two dates: 

• Up to 3.5 FTE years for a PhD program or up to 1.5 FTE years for an MPhil program; or
• To the program completion date (the date when all program requirements have been met including minor corrections or amendments to the satisfaction of the DA).  

How will I know if I have been approved?

• If you are a central scholarship holder you are already approved to continue to receive stipend payments post thesis submission so long as you have submitted your thesis prior to the following dates: 3.5 FTE years for a PhD program or up to 1.5 FTE years for an MPhil program. You will also receive an email from GRO upon thesis submission confirming this and advising you if your scholarship end date has been updated. 
• If you hold another stipend scholarship that is potentially in scope you will receive an email from GRO if the Financial Delegate has approved the continuation of stipend.

When can I expect to be paid my stipend post-thesis submission and approval?

• If you are a central scholarship holder the payments should not cease after you have submitted. If your payments cease due to unexpected issues, when your payments resume the first payment will include a back payment to cover any missing pay period.   
• If you hold another scholarship that is potentially in scope for approval your stipend payments will cease upon thesis submission to ensure you are not overpaid. The payments will be reactivated if the Financial Delegate of the scholarship approves the continuation of your stipend post-thesis submission. After approval, you will be paid in the next available pay cycle. The first payment will include any backpayment to cover the missing pay periods.  

What happens to scholarships that have been extended?

If your scholarship has been extended for any reason over 3.5 years or was initially greater than 3.5 FTE years for a PhD program (1.5 FTE years for a MPhil program)  you will not be eligible for any payments past 3.5 FTE years for a PhD (or 1.5 years FTE for a MPhil).

Why is my scholarship not in scope for potential approval? 

• The financial delegate or agreement governing the scholarship has not approved the stipend to continue post-thesis submission;  or
• The scholarship is a secondary (supplementary or top-up) scholarship; or
• The scholarship is a tuition fee scholarship or sponsorship that is no longer needed due to the enrolment ceasing upon thesis submission. 

Why might a Financial Delegate not approve the continuation of the stipend post-thesis submission? 

• Lack of funds
• It goes against a contract, terms, or agreement already in place
• For consistency across multiple higher education providers (in the case of externally funded scholarships)
• For any other reason

Can I appeal a decision not to approve the continuation of scholarship? 

This is not an appealable or reviewable decision, however, you can lodge a grievance under the Procedure: Student grievance and complaint resolution .  

Who is managing this process?
