Domestic students

You're a domestic student if you are:

• a citizen of Australia or New Zealand,
• an Australian permanent resident, or
• a holder of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa.

In order to progress forward with a PhD at the AIBN as a domestic student, you will need to do the following.

1. Meet the entry requirements

To progress forward with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program at the AIBN, you will need to prove that you:

• have completed some research experience (for example, you can provide evidence that you've planned and executed project work and/or a body of research with some independence)
• have completed an approved university degree in your field of research no more than 10 years ago, and;
• can meet the English language requirements.

You can find more on entry requirements here.
