Typically, five awards of £7,000 each are available for each academic year.
To be eligible you need to apply to the MSc in Archaeology programme through the usual application system no later than the January application round. If you are offered a place on the programme you will be automatically considered for shortlisting for one of the awards. Applicants will normally be notified if they have been successful by the start of April. At this point an acceptance of the award is expected within a couple of weeks.
All Home and Overseas status applicants are eligible.
Awards will be offered to the strongest applicants who demonstrate:
- motivation for and understanding of the proposed area of study,
- sound reasons for applying to the School of Archaeology, the MSc in Archaeology and your chosen stream, and
- evidence that your academic ability and focus are suited to the demands and nature of the degree.
Successful applicants are asked to inform the School of Archaeology of any other offers of financial support for the purpose of their studies at Oxford. Adjustments to the value of the award may be made to take account of these.
For more information about other funds, see the School of Archaeology Funding Page, and the University Graduate Funding pages.
