MA Scholarships for International Students in History at University of Leeds, UK

All of the following are available to UK, EU and International postgraduates applying to study in the School of History, University of Leeds. Figures quoted reflect the 2011/12 UK / EU fee rates. 2012/13 fees for UK / EU students will probably be set in April and are likely to increase substantially due to changes in government fundingt. Thanks to a generous donation from the late Professor Maurice Beresford, we can offer three Beresford MA scholarships this year (offered for the last year in 2011/12):
The Beresford MA Scholarships are for full fees at the UK/EU rate plus a partial maintenance grant (pro rata over 2 years for part time students). International scholarship holders may opt to amalgamate the scholarship into one payment as a substantial contribution towards International fees or may choose to receive the UK/EU arrangement which would cover £4,200 of your fees and provide you with an additional funding as a maintenance contribution.
