Frequently asked questions
Drawn from this listing's own record. Always confirm the details on the official source before applying.
What is the deadline for PhD Scholarship in Computational Biophysics, RMIT?
The application deadline is 14 December 2026 (Full application: 23 Nov 2026 (international) / 14 Dec 2026 (domestic); intl EOI closed 30 Aug). Applications received after that date are not considered, so treat it as a hard cut-off (Australia/Sydney time) and leave time for references and transcripts. Closing time not specified — confirm with the provider before you leave it until the last day: the source names Australia/Sydney but gives no clock time.
How is PhD Scholarship in Computational Biophysics, RMIT funded?
This is a partially funded award: funding is listed as partial, so it covers only part of the cost rather than the whole programme. What is covered (fees, living costs or both) is not set out in the source — check the source for what it covers and price the remainder before you apply. Up to AUD 30,000/year, or AUD 10,000/year top-up.
