Korean Studies Prize

We are offering a small number of scholarships for entry in September 2026.

We are offering a small number of prizes for entry in September 2026 to the following programmes:

  • MSc in East Asian Studies (Korean Studies Pathway)
  • MSc by Research Korean Studies

The prize is likely to be £3,000 toward tuition fees in the first year of study.  Students will need to cover the outstanding amount of the fees. The prizes have been made possible by the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS).

All scholarship award holders are expected to be energetic members of our postgraduate community, and will engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the period covered by their award.  We offer our postgraduates a range of training and development opportunities appropriate to their programme of study.


The scholarships are only available to masters students on our new MSc in East Asian Studies who take a Korean Studies pathway through the programme.

Students on the MSc by Research Korean Studies programme are also eligible to apply.

Applicants must have, or expect to obtain, the equivalent of a UK first class or 2:1 Honours degree at undergraduate level.


For 2026 entry, all eligible candidates who apply for their programme of study by Sunday 31st May 2026 will be considered.


Successful applicants will be notified of the outcome by the end of July 2026.
