Since 1929 the University of London's Institute in Paris (formerly the British Institute) has made available to postgraduate students several scholarships financed from endowment funds to help students to pursue an approved programme of research in the field of Humanities relating to France.

To top

Applicants will be required to register as postgraduate research students in the University of London.

The studentship is intended primarily for research leading to the PhD degree of the University of London, and not for following taught courses such as those leading to a Master's degree.

In addition to an outstanding academic record, applicants should normally have gained, or be about to gain, a Master's degree. Candidates without a Master's qualification may apply only if they can demonstrate that they have gained equivalent experience through another route (for example, relevant professional practice) that has exceptionally prepared them to undertake doctoral study.

The research topic should be in an area in which the Institute can provide supervision.

The scholarships, depending on the funds available, and the needs of candidates, will be of the order £500 per month, to finance periods of up to nine months' study. They are intended to meet the costs of both maintenance and tuition, and will not cover maintenance for the spouses of married students.

The provision of specialist equipment and materials is not covered by the award, but the holder will have access to all Institute and University of London facilities. The Institute will also provide the appropriate certification to gain access to libraries, archives, etc necessary to the furtherance of the student's research.
