Introduction of IPRS Scholarship for Studying Abroad

No matter which country you study in, there are many scholarship programs for local students, and Australia is no exception. So what scholarship programs do China students have in Australia? What kind of conditions are needed? The following is the introduction of IPRS Scholarships for studying in 86.com for your reference!

I. Conditions for applying for IPRS

1. International students studying for research-oriented master's degree and doctoral degree have received the admission notice.

2. At least three years working experience.

It should be noted that Australian universities generally have practice? Local protectionism? Non-Australian education should be compared with Australian education after 10% discount. For example, there are two students, one is West Sydney, with a total score of 82, and the other is China Tsinghua (even Harvard in the United States is no exception), with a total score of 90; Then before the school makes an evaluation, multiply the latter's score by 0.9, that is, 90*0.9=8 1, so the latter's competitiveness ranks behind the former.

However, for those who apply for IPRS, the impact is not great. After all, most people who get their bachelor's degrees in Australia have got PR and won't compete with you. But for new immigrants who want to apply for APA, it is troublesome. So we can see a phenomenon that most APA holders have studied undergraduate courses in Australia.

Second, the application materials

1. IELTS score

First of all, you should meet the requirements of normal admission, for example, the total score of IELTS is 6.5, and each course is not less than 6. However, English scores do not affect the scholarship application very much. A score of 9 is not much different from a score of 6.5.

2. Letter of recommendation

Letter of recommendation Of course, it is absolutely beneficial for you to find an internationally renowned person to sign a letter of recommendation for you. Generally, you just need to sign your undergraduate/graduate tutor or dean, so there is no need to waste energy. But if you have English-speaking friends, such as foreign teachers, it is very useful for them to write a letter of recommendation themselves.

3. Guidance effect

Contact the tutor: Are there any principles for finding a tutor? Academically, of course, it is best to be a well-known tutor, but from the perspective of scholarships, it is recommended to find a dean.

4. Research plan

Australian schools generally don't require personal statements, but C.V. does. But research proposals are essential, otherwise the application will never be considered. This is an Australian principle.

Third, the application time

Generally, the admission time in Australia is February and July, and the deadline for applying for scholarships is August -65438+ 10 of the previous year. All materials must be sent to the university before this. Some schools allow late submission of IELTS scores.

Note: Many schools do not allow you to enter school in July, and some expressly stipulate that IPRS holders must start formal study before March 3 1 (such as UNSW); Although some claim that they can enter school in spring or autumn, they often send you an admission notice in February. Correct the reason, if you enter school in March, you generally can't wait for the offer of American schools. Otherwise, if you accepted a scholarship from Australia and didn't go at that time, the scholarship would be wasted. A school can only have a maximum of 30 places.

Fourth, the application results release time

The general admission will be sent to you within 1-2 months after application, and the IPRS results will be announced at the end of 1 1-65438+2 months. The school generally requires you to give a reply on whether to accept the scholarship within 15-20 days.

5. Is the visa application timely?

Many people worry that the offer will not be received until 65438+February, and the school will start at the end of February. Is it possible to apply for a visa?

Don't worry, the visa application of IPRS holders will be automatically regarded as a priority category. If there is no accident, the PVA will definitely be obtained within 1 month, and basically 1.5 months is enough to get the positive visa. (It is suggested that the IPRS holder be clearly stated on the cover letter of PVA materials).
