Muriel Smith Award

The School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh is delighted to invite applications for a postgraduate scholarship to be awarded in 2026-2027. The award covers tuition fees at the Home/EU rate and will be tenable for one academic year, deducted from tuition fees. All award holders are expected to be energetic members of the 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. The scholarship is awarded to eligible masters students on one of three specific programmes: MSc by Research in French, MSc by Research in Spanish (Hispanic Studies), or MSc in Translation Studies specialising in French or Spanish. Applicants must be domiciled in Scotland for a minimum of four years prior to starting the degree, though overseas applicants may apply but will be liable for the difference between UK and overseas fee rates.
