Hans Rausing Scholarships

The Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at King's College London offers two Hans Rausing Scholarships for outstanding students to study the history of science and/or technology at Masters and PhD-level. The scholarships are available in two schemes: a 1+3 award (one year Masters followed by three years PhD) or a 3-year PhD award. These scholarships are available to Overseas, EU and UK applicants beginning in autumn 2026. Applicants should have an outstanding academic track record and outstanding research potential in the history of science and/or technology. Candidates are expected to have, or develop, masters-level expertise in the field. Research projects in the history of medicine are not eligible, though topics in life sciences and technologies allied to medicine may be in scope if appropriately addressed from a history of science and technology perspective. The scholarship covers full tuition fees at Home or Overseas rates, a monthly stipend equivalent to UK Arts and Humanities Research Council rates, and a research allowance for the duration of the award.
