Description

Australia has provided scholarship assistance for individuals from a range of developing countries to undertake studies at Australian education institutions since the early 1950s. The current Australian Development Scholarships (ADS) program globally involves approximately 1000 students annually, and is represented in 31 countries.

The China ADS scheme supports studies for a Masters degree over a period of up to 18 months (not including up to three months in-Australia Introductory Academic Programs and pre-course English studies), in priority areas outlined in the China-Australia Country Program Strategy, namely: governance (especially economic and public sector reform), environment (mainly water resource management, climate change and clean energy), and health (public health, HIV/AIDS, and other communicable diseases).

ADS is an integral part of the current Australia-China Development Program and is consistent with, and supportive of, the broad strategic objectives and themes of the China-Australia Country Program Strategy
