You also need to meet the University of Adelaide English language proficiency requirements for direct entry.

You should hold at least the equivalent of an Australian Honours degree. Only commencing students qualify. The scholarship offer depends on the student not holding another award from the Commonwealth of Australia, the University of Adelaide, or an overseas sponsor.
