    Hello,

    I’m from France and I wanted to know if I can apply for next year?
    Currently in my last year of licence (bachelor’s degree in France), studying International Business, I want to do a master’s degree about International Relations or International Business. Can I do it or not?

    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Best regards,

      Hello, you can find the application deadline in the University of Melbourne Deadlines Section. I think that this Graduate Research Scholarships is for STEM only. I don’t think this applies to International Business.
