Funding The School of History has been successful in its bid to secure one of the prestigious AHRC Block Grant Awards for Doctoral Scholarships. The award means that the School of History has secured 17 AHRC Doctoral Studentships to be awarded over five years from 2009-2014. The successful bid reflects considerable external confidence in the School, its academic standards, resources, and the quality of the training offered. For details of how to apply for one of these grants (and a number of alternative opportunities) please see www.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/taughtpostgrad/postgrad


Prospective overseas students are advised to seek external funding and may wish to start with the opportunities listed on the University web page: www.st-andrewws.ac.uk/scholarships


Additionally, the School will be offering up to eight one-year awards to students pursuing taught programmes in the School of History in 2011-2012. These awards will offer the cash equivalent of one year’s home fees but cannot be held in conjunction with other awards offering full fees and maintenance.


For information on other funding opportunities within the School of History see www.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/taughtpostgrad/postgradfunding


The University has various other scholarship opportunities for prospective postgraduate students. Our ‘Recent Graduate Discount’ is designed to recognise the loyalty of current St Andrews students and very recent St Andrews alumni when they apply for postgraduate courses here. Details of all our scholarship opportunities and initiatives can be found on our web page: www.st-andrews.ac.uk/scholarships


Application Process For details of the application process, please see the School of History web pages, www.st-andrews.ac.uk/history


Applicants should normally have at least a 2.1 or equivalent (GPA 3.6 or better) in their first degree. A taught masters degree of similar standard is normally required for direct entry to the PhD, although each application is asessed on its own merits.
