Macau Foundation Scholarship

What you get

You will receive a one-off grant to write a Master’s thesis on the history and culture of Macau. The grant amounts to MOP 70,000 (approximately 7,900 EUR) and will be paid in two instalments. It is funded by the Fundação Macau and runs concurrently with your studies at the University of Coimbra.

Who can apply

• Degree: You are a Master’s student at the University of Coimbra.
• Thesis topic: Your dissertation should focus on Macau studies, ideally in conjunction with the history of relations between the University of Coimbra and Macau.
• Field of study: You are studying a subject in the humanities or social sciences.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.
• Publishing rights: You let the Fundação Macau publish, translate, adapt and display your funded thesis for free. This is non-exclusive, so you keep the right to use your own work.

How to apply

You should submit your application to the Department of International Relations (DRI) at the University of Coimbra. Please enclose a study plan, a certificate of enrolment and a letter of recommendation. A panel of experts and academics will review the applications and select the successful candidates.
