What does it mean to be a researcher? In my eyes, a person who creates and systematic work undertook to increase the stock of knowledge. If you want to be that person, then join the Research Stipend Scholarships program in Australia.

In this context, it is worthwhile to give Australian, New Zealand, and International students an opportunity to conduct their PhD or Masters by research program at RMIT.

RMIT University was established as a college in 1887 and founded as a university in 1992. It is an Australian public research university which ranked 16th in the world.

Why at RMIT University? RMIT University has a pretty good reputation for its teaching and supportive nature towards the students. It also has a great space for research and innovation.
