Funding for postgraduate applicants

The School of English offers awards for applicants to both MLitt and PhD programmes. Successful candidates are selected on the basis of academic merit from the pool of those who have already been offered a study place by the School of English before the scholarship application deadline of 1 March each year. Applications for study, including all supporting documents and references, must therefore be received by 1 February to ensure that they can be processed before the scholarship cut off date.

600th Anniversary Fellowships

For 2013/14 the School will be offering five postgraduate fellowships to mark the University's 600th anniversary celebrations. The value of the fellowships for successful Overseas, EU or Home candidates will amount to full fees, plus a substantial maintenance award of at least £5,000; this may be significantly increased for outstanding applicants at the School's discretion. Please note that this scholarship application deadline has been amended to 1 March 2013 to coincide with other School-administered awards.
