Institute for Medieval Studies Scholarships

The School of History and the Institute for Medieval Studies offer a number of scholarships each year which are awarded as payment of fees and a maintainence grant (or as a contribution to fees for overseas students). When awarding scholarships, we consider your academic record and the quality of the research proposal submitted with your application. Your references and any relevant work experience will also be taken into account. You will need to have submitted your application before applying for this scholarship.
