The Harting Scholar

The Harting Scholar program offers an annual placement at University College Cork to a student of English from one of the Dutch universities. The scholar will be attached to the Language Centre, a constituent part of the School of Language and Literature, and will be allowed to choose courses at undergraduate or postgraduate level from programs offered by the School of Language and Literature and/or the Departments of History and Modern Irish and cognate departments in the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences. The scholarship provides full fee waivers, travel expenses, and subsistence arranged by the Harting Committee. In exchange, the Harting Scholar is prepared to teach and assist in examining Dutch as required by UCC with a maximum of four hours of weekly teaching. The scholar must attend a three-day instruction course held annually in May for the approximately twenty-six Harting Scholars who teach Dutch at universities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
