Australia Awards Scholarships – Bhutan: Intake 2018
Priority fields of study
The priority fields of study identified for Australia Awards Scholarships Intake 2018 reflect the development needs of Bhutan and priorities agreed between the Australian Government and the Royal Government of Bhutan (RGOB). They align with the objectives of Australia’s bilateral and regional aid programs.
Applicants must apply for only one field of study to which their parent agency nominates them for. However, applicants can submit more than one university preference in their applications.
Applicants are encouraged to carefully consider study program and institution preferences before applying. The Australian Government and the RGOB will not entertain any changes to the study program/institution after the application closing date.
