Tips for your application

Tanh Hang Pham, Ms Marketing and Brand Management has shared her 5 top tips when applying for a Postgraduate scholarship:

• Be an early bird – we have multiple deadlines throughout the year, but make sure as soon as you are made an offer on an eligible course you start your application.
• Be straight to the point – when writing your application, ensure you are precise and clear when writing your answers.
• Tell a story – be sure to write full answers that tell a story, don’t just give a list of events.
• Be positive – use a positive tone of voice about your contribution to the university, your career development and even your difficulties.
• Be real, be yourself – everyone can tell a story, but only you can tell the best story of yourself.
