Funding Opportunities

Securing funding to support graduate study is a separate (though related) procedure to the academic application. There are a number of funding opportunities available, but all are extremely competitive. It is not unusual for applicants who are made a conditional offer of a place to find themselves without the necessary funds to actually commence their study.

Applicants who are interested in studying an aspect of Anglo-American Relations or US foreign policy should also be aware of the following source of funds run from Magdalene College: The Roosevelt Scholarship

Further funding guidance can be found on the Department website.
