Korean Studies Prize

The Korean Studies Prize is a scholarship offered by the University of Edinburgh's School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures for students entering postgraduate Korean Studies programmes. The prize is made possible by the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS) and provides partial tuition fee support. For September 2026 entry, a small number of prizes are available, each providing £3,000 toward tuition fees in the first year of study. Students are expected to be energetic members of the postgraduate community and engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the award period. The scholarship is available to students on the MSc in East Asian Studies (Korean Studies Pathway) or MSc by Research Korean Studies programmes. Applicants must have or expect to obtain the equivalent of a UK first class or 2:1 Honours degree at undergraduate level. All eligible candidates who apply for their programme of study by May 31, 2026 will be considered, with successful applicants notified by the end of July 2026.
