This information is applicable only for on-course graduate students
Graduate Research Support
All graduate research students (PRS/DPhil) in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies who are within full fee liability are entitled to apply for research support costs of up to £200 per annum in each full year of their study for as long as they continue to pay full fees. They may apply instead for one grant of up to £600 during their research degree, normally in the second year of study, but could be at any time during the student’s period of fee liability.
The purpose of the allowance is to fund attendance at conferences provided the student will be giving a paper; travel and subsistence costs associated with field research; and/or to purchase materials necessary for research. Allowances may not be carried forward beyond the period of fee liability.
Further information, including who to contact with queries, is provided at the top of the application form and must be consulted before any expenditure is incurred.
How to apply
An application form for a graduate research support grant should be completed by the student and signed by their main supervisor before any expenditure is incurred. The form should be returned to the Assistant Administrator (Resources), Trudi Pinkerton, Faculty of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies, 1 Pusey Lane, Oxford, OX1 2LE.
Graduate Language Study Support
All taught graduate students recommended to attend a language course between the first and second years of their MPhil shall be entitled to apply for up to £500 towards the cost of this study abroad.
The key courses for which this is applicable are the MPhil courses in: Modern Middle Eastern Studies, Islamic Studies & History, Islamic Art & Archaeology, Modern South Asian Studies, and Tibetan & Himalayan Studies. In addition, since 2012, any MPhil student needing to travel or undertake fieldwork between the first and second years of their course may claim an allowance, provided their supervisor verifies that purpose of the travel is integral to their course.
