Bursaries

The Department of History and Welsh History also offers a number of MA bursaries to MA students, of between £500 and £1500. Successful candidates will normally have achieved a First Class degree at undergraduate level but have been unsuccessful in obtaining funding from elsewhere.

Those wishing to be considered for a bursary should make a formal application for postgraduate study to the Department in the usual way, including a letter requesting consideration. The deadline for applications is July 2007. Decisions on the award of bursaries will be made in July/August 2007. Further information may be obtained from the Postgraduate Tutor.

Further Information

Members of the Department are always glad to help with enquiries about postgraduate study, whether it be to help select an appropriate taught Masters course, or to define a field suitable for exploration through a research degree. Further information can be obtained in the first instance from the Postgraduate Tutor, who can also make arrangements for a visit to the Department, and for the exploration of research possibilities with particular specialists on our staff.
