Postgraduate degrees at the University of Canterbury
To do a PhD project at the University of Canterbury, three things need to occur:
- You need to be able to support yourself financially. There are scholarships given out by the University of Canterbury, but they are highly competitive, only being awarded to the top 5% of applicants. Other scholarship options can be found at studywithnewzealand.govt.nz ↗. If you are not from Aotearoa, you might also look for scholarships in your home country.
- You need to be accepted as a PhD student by the University of Canterbury. This requires that you have agreed on a project with a potential supervisor and that your academic qualifications are acceptable to the University of Canterbury (acceptance is determined in the Postgraduate Office). Please note that it is the University of Canterbury, not academic staff (via KiwiScience), who can approve your application.
- You need to have a scholarship. Self-funded postgraduate students will not be accepted.
