UQ PhD Industry Placement Award

Eligibility criteria

You're eligible if you: are a UQ PhD candidate (full time or part time) are on a living stipend managed by a sponsor external to UQ*, or not in receipt of any living stipend scholarship have successfully completed a Graduate School coordinated PhD Industry Placement of at least 60 working days worked with the Graduate School to plan and registered your intent to undertake a HDR Placement by submitting and having your project brief approved via myUQ within 18 months of commencement. Successfully complete the HDR placement at least one month before your current stipend expires. This includes submitting the completion reports and receiving the “Placement Completion” email. The Industry Placement Scholarship extends your existing stipend, so you must still be receiving your original living stipend when the extension is awarded. Please keep this in mind while negotiating your placement dates with the host. Please note that if the placement finishes too close to the scholarship expiry date there is a risk that stipend payments may be disrupted.
