The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages at Oxford is now welcoming applications for postgraduate study in any of the languages in which we specialise, or a combination of those languages or language areas (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Modern Greek, Russian, Yiddish, Slavonic (including Russian, Czech, Polish, Slovak, and Ukrainian), for the degrees of  MSt (1 year masters), MPhil (2 year), or DPhil (doctoral study). Information on the courses and application procedures can be found here. https://www.mod-langs.ox.ac.uk/graduate/how-apply-funding

The Faculty has a good track record of securing doctoral funding via the Arts and Humanities Research Council, as well as masters and doctoral funding via the University's Clarendon and Ertegun scholarships. NB: Candidates interested in AHRC DTP funding (DPhil only) or Ertegun funding (all degrees) MUST fill out the extra application materials for these schemes and tick the relevant boxes on the application form or they cannot be considered for them. Please give yourself enough time before the deadline to do this.

This year the Faculty also has jointly funded studentships (full fees at Home/ROI rates and a Research Council equivalent maintenance grant) for applicants for MSt in Modern Languages at Jesus College, for MSt applicants in French, German and Russian at New College and for MSt applicants in French at St John's; and for DPhil applicants at Queens and Merton. Eligible candidates will be automatically considered for these studentships without regard to their initial college choice; you just need to apply to our programme.

We also vigorously welcome applications at masters or doctoral level from students eligible for Academic Futures funding, including UK Black and Mixed Black students, refugees, and the care-experienced. The application forms invite candidates to indicate they are eligible for these opportunities. https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/access/academic-futures

Russian students may be eligible for grants from the Hill Foundation and should indicate their interest for such funding on the form where invited.
