studies at the University of Melbourne. MIFRSs are funded by the
University with each faculty having a limited number to award.
Number of award(s): Each year the University of Melbourne offers about 150 MIFRSs.
Duration of award (s): The duration of a scholarship will be reduced if a study was
undertaken towards the degree before commencement of the scholarship, during
suspension of the scholarship (e.g. unpaid Leave of Absence), or
during the tenure of a previous Australian Postgraduate Course Award (or APA).
-The maximum scholarship tenure excludes periods of leave (apart from overseas
study leave). All durations are expressed as FTE
(i.e. full-time equivalent.)
-IPRS and MIFRS recipients often hold a MIRS (a living
allowance scholarship) as well. The MIRS cannot be extended beyond 3.5 years
for PhD and other research doctorate students. This means that if a second 6
month extension to the IPRS or MIFRS is approved, the student would need to
cover their own living expenses for the final 6 months.
-Note that completion of a masters degree while holding a
scholarship does not guarantee the award of a scholarship for research
doctorate (eg. PhD) study.
