Who is eligible
Commencing international students in most coursework degrees, assessed automatically on academic merit. Additional country and faculty awards require separate applications.
Newcastle applies an automatic tuition reduction, commonly around 20%, to eligible international students for the length of the degree. The university is strong in medicine and engineering and pioneered problem-based learning in its medical program.
Newcastle is a coastal city two hours north of Sydney with markedly lower living costs, which stretches the scholarship further than the same award would in Sydney.
Newcastle brands this the International Excellence Scholarship and calculates it as 20 percent of the gross international tuition fee across a standard full-time load of 80 units, so the dollar value depends on your program's unit costs. It is assessed automatically with your admission application, and the confirmed value appears in your Letter of Offer rather than a separate scholarship notice. Newcastle advises students to pay each term's tuition minus the expected scholarship amount by the due date rather than waiting for confirmation.
