Oxford University MASTER’S IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW
There are a number of scholarships offered by the University for which students on the MSt in International Human Rights Law may be eligible. Some scholarships are open to all graduate students, some are open to students on a selection of courses (usually within a subject area) and some are specific to this course. All scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit and most have additional eligibility criteria which are usually based on nationality or country of residence. We regret that departmental scholarships and studentships offered by the Law Faculty are not open to students applying for this course.
How to apply
For most of the University’s scholarships nothing more than the standard course application is usually required. If you are offered a course place you will be automatically considered for any scholarships for which you are eligible. Where a separate application is required the University’s Fees, Funding and Scholarship search tool (see below) should indicate this and include a link with full details on how to apply.
University scholarship schemes open to IHRL Master’s applicants
All applicants will be considered for the Clarendon Fund, a scholarship scheme which offers around 140 full scholarships every year to academically excellent graduate students at the University of Oxford. Since this scheme is open to all graduate applicants of any nationality it is very competitive though a number of our students have secured Clarendon scholarships in the past. Clarendon awards are usually announced in April each year.
To find out what other scholarships you may be eligible for, you should visit the University’s Fees and Funding website which includes a Fees, Funding and Scholarships scholarship search tool where you can find out what you are eligible for based on your chosen course and your nationality/country of residence (the search works best if you enter ‘international human rights law’ in the course keywords field). Listed below are the schemes which may appear in your search (in addition to Clarendon) if you are eligible. Please note that any College scholarships appearing in your search will only be applicable if that college accepts students for this course. You can visit the colleges tab of our course pages in the Graduate Studies Prospectus to check this. Please also note that the list below is not exhaustive and you may find awards listed in the scholarship search tool that are not listed below.
