In this program the overseas students consult the leading scholars in their research areas and undertake research in Australia which will be relevant to their thesis project. This program gives an opportunity to a successful applicant to spend a period of between six months to a year as a visiting postgraduate scholar at an Australian university to undertake research for which he or she has enrolled in. Though a student holding a scholarship will be based at one university in Australia but he or she will be encouraged to visit and meet academic staff and other postgraduate students of other Australian universities who have same area of interest.
