The National Library of Australia invites qualified candidates to apply to its 2018 Fellowship programs.

Recipients of these fellowships will be invited to partake in a three-month residency at the National Library. They will engage in a substantial research project through the use of the Library’s collections and resources. Fellows will receive an award of $1,000 AUD per week for twelve weeks, along with accommodation support in the amount of $700 AUD per week for twelve weeks. Candidates may also receive travel support for airfare to Canberra. Fellows who are interested in extending the period of their research may do so, but will not be eligible for additional financial support.

In addition to the stipends and support listed above, fellows will also receive exclusive access to staff and collections resources. They will also receive copies of select collections materials. Fellows are considered part of the Library’s staff and will receive notable networking opportunities after the program has ended as well.

Successful applicants will demonstrate innovative and creative thinking abilities, especially when applied to research and unique research concepts. They will also have a record of professional proven research and demonstrate the need to make use of the Library’s collections. Applicants should outline their research and explain the relevance of the collections in pursuit of their goals.

Interested candidates may apply online. Research should be focused on creating publications in regards to Australian or international collections. This research does not have to lead to immediate outcomes, but research progress should be demonstrated through the duration of the program. It should enhance the knowledge of a specific collection and encompass public access or other outcomes. Specific topics of research include public policy, international relations, strategic relations, social research, industry, the environment, the economy, or resources.

Applicants who are involved in all areas of these topics may apply, whether they are academics, independent scholars, policy makers, or other stakeholders. Applicants should indicate the area of their proposed research and identify specific collections relevant to the field. Research teams may not apply, nor may previous recipients of fellowships. In addition to an online application and proposal, candidates should submit a CV and list of referees. All applications must be received no later than April 30, 2018. More information may be received by emailing fellowships@nla.gov.au.

Australian National University invites qualified undergraduate students to apply for the exciting undergraduate degree programs offered by the university. In particular, international students are highly sought after members of the university community. To be eligible, international students should be prepared to meet particular English language requirements.

Although some programs may have specific entry requirements, international students applying to Australian should expect to meet the same admission standards. Official transcripts should be submitted in English (or with an English translation). A graduation certificate must also be supplied, either with all admissions materials, or upon graduation. Letters of recommendation and other supporting documents should also be supplied. Letters of recommendation may not be sent directly from the applicant and should be forwarded directly form the referee to the admissions office.

International students who are completing year 12 in Australia will need to have an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank or equivalent. This should meet the entry requirement for your specific degree. These students should apply through the Universities Admissions Centre. Students who are completing a New Zealand NCEA Level 3 or an International Baccalaureate will also meet these criteria.

Applicants may list nine degree program preferences, but these may be changed after the application has been submitted. Preferences can be changed after receiving an offer of admission as well. If students are applying to multiple degree programs with varying levels of competitiveness and entry score requirements, the more challenging score will be deferred to. Therefore, students should take care when selecting their preferences.

All applications are reviewed by the university admissions office and offers will be released in rounds. These offers are released via email. Applications generally take around four to six weeks to assess. Materials should be submitted by December 15, 2017 for initial review. Questions may be directed to the Admissions team at +61 2 6125 5594.
