China Scholarship Council–University of Melbourne 2027 PhD Scholarship
University of Melbourne
PhD package for citizens of China studying at the University of Melbourne: full tuition remission plus university and CSC living support, subject to both application stages. Melbourne PhD application deadline: 31 January 2027.
The China Scholarship Council and University of Melbourne jointly support eligible Chinese citizens enrolling in a Melbourne PhD across disciplines. Melbourne provides full tuition remission for up to four years and a supplementary living allowance. The CSC provides a separate living allowance, health cover, return airfare and visa fees. Applicants first apply to the University for a PhD and indicate CSC funding; candidates offered a place and tuition scholarship must then apply to the CSC through the Cooperative Channel. The university no longer supports individual-channel CSC applications.
