About the scholarship
The Victorian Government is offering scholarships to eligible students who are accepted into the 2027 Diploma of Interpreting program at RMIT University to study interpreting in one of these languages:
- Khmer
- Thai
- Urdu.
The scholarship is to study a Diploma of Interpreting, which is a one year, full-time program that begins in February 2027 and finishes in November 2027.
Most of the course activities are delivered online, with some in-person classroom sessions held at RMIT University’s City Campus.
Please note: We require a minimum number of participants for each language.
In cases of low enrolment, students may instead be offered the option to enrol in the Profession Ready Interpreter and Translator course (full details will be available shortly).
Scholarship
A scholarship will be awarded to cover the program fee for students in a government-subsidised place. For other fee places, students will be required to cover the gap. The specific amount will depend on each student’s enrolment status.
Scholarships will be paid directly to RMIT University on behalf of the student.
