Australia: Scholarship In International Affairs | Australian National University

The Graduate Studies in International Affairs program offers up to four Hedley Bull Scholarships each year for full-time study in the Master of Arts (International Relations) commencing in semester one. Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the Master of Arts (International Relations).

When applying for the MA (International Relations), eligible applicants for the Hedley Bull Scholarship should include a covering letter indicating their interest in being considered for the scholarship and making the case for being granted one. The covering letter together with the application for the MA (International Relations) (including transcripts and three academic references) will be considered as the full application for the scholarship. There is no need to provide a separate application. The scholarship provides a full-fee waiver for three full-time sessions (semesters). This amounts to 48 units of graduate coursework and a 24-unit thesis session.

MA (International Relations) (MAIR) and Master of International Affairs (MIA)

Katie Pavey was the student they profiled from 2007, who is currently studying Mechanical Engineering at Imperial. Katie says of the scheme:
•  “My Year In Industry has been really beneficial to me so far in my manufacturing engineering modules, lab work and group projects.
