You are required to return to your home country within 30 days of the completion of studies (official release of results date), or prior to the expiry of your visa, whichever comes first. For PhD students, completion of studies is thesis submission date or contract end date, whichever comes first.
The Student Contact Officer will have a meeting with the completing scholars to discuss the scholarship finalisation arrangements.
