Higher degrees by research

To apply for a research degree, choose your type of degree and follow these steps.

Applying for a scholarship

If you apply for a La Trobe Postgraduate Research Scholarship, Fee Remission Research Scholarship or an International Postgraduate Research Scholarship, your application must be received by 30 September if you want to start at La Trobe the following year.

You can apply at any time of the year if you are not applying for a scholarship, but we will need enough time to process your application and visa before the semester starts.

Any questions? We'd love to help.
