Apply for a Visiting Scholarship

These scholarships allow Masters and PhD students in one institution to visit academics in the other – we will provide funds for flights and accommodation for a month of collaboration.

Visiting the University of Melbourne

Up to 15 scholarships are allocated in three years for students to visit the University of Melbourne. The scholarship will provide funds to cover the expenses for one-month accommodation supported by UoM and airfares supported by PKU.

Eligibility

All master and PhD students currently enrolled in the School of Mathematical Sciences at PKU who will remain enrolled at PKU during their visit to UoM, with priority given to master students.

Selection criteria

Selection will be based on academic merit of applicants and availability of suitable supervisors at UoM. Preference will be given to those applicants whose visits will likely enhance collaboration between UoM and PKU in mathematical sciences through joint research and pursuit of further studies at the PhD level.
