Flinders University is participating with Universities Australia and Becas Chile in the Bicentennial Fund Scholarship program. This will enable Chilean students who have secured a scholarship to study a Masters or Doctoral research degree at Flinders. The China Scholarship Council (CSC) and Flinders University (FU) have established a collaborative scholarship program for students from selected Chinese universities to undertake research PhD studies at Flinders University. The long term purpose of the program is to establish strong working links with Chinese universities in order to build relationships around key academic research areas.
