Finding a supervisor is one of the most important steps before applying for a University of Sydney higher degree by research and the RTP Scholarship. For most research degrees, applicants are expected to identify a suitable supervisor and provide evidence of supervision support before submitting the application. A strong supervisor approach is specific, research-based and connected to the academic's actual work.
Official source: University of Sydney postgraduate research application guidance •Updated:
A research proposal is one of the most important documents for a University of Sydney higher degree by research application. The university's general postgraduate research guidance refers to a research proposal of up to 2,000 words, although applicants should always check faculty-specific instructions. A strong proposal explains the research problem, question, method, contribution and supervisory fit in a way that is focused, realistic and connected to the applicant's previous academic preparation.

The University of Sydney RTP Scholarship is competitively awarded to domestic and international students commencing or enrolled in a higher degree by research. International applicants need more than interest in Australia: they must show strong academic performance, previous research experience, English readiness, supervisor or faculty fit, complete documents and a credible research plan. This guide explains the eligibility and selection criteria in practical language.
Official source: University of Sydney RTP scholarships for international students •Updated:
The University of Sydney PhD and higher degree by research application requires more than an online form. Most applicants need a research proposal, supervisor approval evidence, two referee reports, academic transcripts with English translations where needed, a CV, English-language proof if required, identity documents and any faculty-specific documents. International applicants seeking RTP consideration must also complete the scholarship form by the relevant deadline.
Official source: University of Sydney postgraduate research application guidance •Updated:
Some applicants may be able to apply for a University of Sydney research degree or RTP Scholarship without submitting IELTS, but only if they meet the university's official English-language requirements through another accepted route. The RTP Scholarship does not cancel English requirements. Applicants must satisfy the English requirement for their selected course, and postgraduate research requirements can vary by faculty and programme.
