Oxford-Wolfson Graduate Scholarship in Assyriology
Wolfson College is offering a fully-funded post-graduate Scholarship for a student undertaking either a DPhil in Oriental Studies or Archaeology, specialising in Assyriology, or an MPhil in Cuneiform Studies. The Scholarship is to be held at the University of Oxford from the beginning of the academic year 2016-2017, and is co-funded by Oxford University Graduate Scholarship Matched Fund.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates who are applying for entry in October 2016. The Scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit and potential.
The Scholarship is open to applicants from all countries and will cover their full costs for the relevant period of fee liability, including the University composition fee, the College fee, and maintenance costs at the current UK Research Council rate. The successful scholar will become a member of Wolfson College.
There is no separate application process. Applicants, whether internal or external, should apply to the University of Oxford under the standard procedures for graduate degrees for 2016-17, by the relevant January deadline. If there are two or more candidates of equal academic merit, priority will be given to the candidate who has listed Wolfson as his or her first choice college on the University application form.
