This program offers financial assistance through tuition fee offsets, stipends for living expenses, and allowances for research-related costs. Designed to foster high-quality research across all disciplines, the RTP enables students to pursue Master by Research or Doctoral degrees at Curtin University, recognized globally for its research excellence and innovation.
