Oxford History of Science, Medicine, and Technology - PG funding

The History of Science, Medicine, and Technology (HSMT) at the University of Oxford is part of the History Faculty, one of the world’s largest history departments.  Oxford HSMT is uniquely broad in our chronological and geographical expertise: we cover HSMT from the Ancient World to the modern era, and do so on a global scale.  We have particular expertise in the history of global and colonial medicine, and in the history of science and technology from 1500 to 1900; we benefit from close links with Museum of the History of Science, the Pitt Rivers Museum, and the Ashmolean Museum.  More details on the Oxford Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology can be found here.

The general deadline for PG applications (one- and two-year Master’s; Doctorate) is 19 January 2018. 

Doctoral Funding

Alongside Arts and Humanities Research Council scholarships, applicants who submit by the 19 Jan 2018 deadline will also be considered for Oxford Clarendon Scholarships, and applicants are also eligible to apply for Ertegun Scholarships in the Humanities.  Applicants may need to provide further details to be eligible for a number of specific scholarships for research degrees in History.  Wellcome Studentships are also available to applicants in the area of medical humanities.

Masters Funding

Alongside eligibility for a Wellcome Award in the area of medical humanities, Master’s students can apply for the Oxford HAPP Scholarship in the History of Science, and all applicants who submit by the 19 Jan 2018 deadline will be automatically considered for Oxford Clarendon Scholarships.  Applicants may need to provide further details to be eligible for a number of specific scholarships for master’s degrees in History.
