Start your journey to a Higher Degree by Research

Choose your HDR path at UniSC

Choose your HDR path – bring your own research idea or take on a ready-made project, some with scholarships included. Whichever path you choose we'll support you every step of the way to find the perfect fit for your research.

Have a research idea?

Bring your own idea to life! You can apply for an HDR program anytime with your own proposal and, if you like, also apply for a scholarship to support your research.

Looking for a project?

Jump straight into a ready-made HDR project – some come with scholarships attached! If you’re successful, you’ll then apply for the HDR program linked to the project. The process includes an application, interview, and offer from the project supervisor.

Got questions?

We’ll respond with personalised guidance and include scholarship opportunities you may be eligible for.
