Graduate Scholarships

Fully-funded graduate scholarships ensure Oxford attracts the very best graduate students from across the world, regardless of their financial circumstance.

• Access to a graduate education is more important than ever, given its potential to enhance career prospects both outside academia and within.
• The most frequent reason given for why graduate offer holders turn down their Oxford place is lack of funding.
• Many leading universities abroad provide full funding for all PhD students; at Oxford, only 60 percent of doctoral students enjoy this security.
• Graduate scholarships are a strategic priority for Oxford, with ambitious targets of 300 new scholarships proposed in the 2018-23 strategic plan.
