University of Otago International Master's Research Scholarship

Applications are open for the University of Otago International Master's Research Scholarship in New Zealand.

This opportunity supports high-achieving international students who are undertaking their first thesis-based Master's degree at the University of Otago. It is a research-focused scholarship for students planning a Master's by thesis rather than a taught-only programme.

Funding: The scholarship provides a stipend of NZD 18,204 per year and an international tuition fee waiver up to NZD 35,000 for one year. It does not cover student services fees or health insurance.

Eligibility highlights: Open to eligible international students globally; applicants must be enrolling in a first thesis-based Master's programme at Otago and must meet the university's standard admission criteria.

Deadline: 1 September 2026 (annual deadline).

Research area: The post does not specify a single discipline, so the scholarship appears to be open across thesis-based Master's research areas at the University of Otago.

How to apply: Use the official scholarship page to review the full conditions and application instructions. Confirm that your programme is thesis-based and that you satisfy admission requirements. Submit your application before the deadline.
