About This Opportunity

The Winchester Reading Studentship will be offered to candidates for the MPhil in English Studies from October 2026 whose research focuses on English prose and poetry pre-1867. The studentship consists of the university composition fee (tuition/College fees) at the home rate plus the standard UKRI-level maintenance award, at the pro-rata rate for the period of an MPhil (9 months). The successful awardee will be chosen based on academic merit. Home and overseas applicants will be considered, but the level of funding available is only at the Home rate. Three awards are available annually. The scholarship comes with a requirement to produce a short video for public dissemination on the Faculty's website where the candidate reads aloud from an author that is the subject of their dissertation research and discusses how aurality/orality adds to appreciation of the work. All students who are offered a place to study the MPhil in English Studies and who indicate they are seeking funding will be considered for the award.
