Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford - One Year Divisional Award

One Year Divisional Award (University of Oxford)

You get about 210 EUR towards a one-year graduate course at the University of Oxford, paid for 12 months. It is funded by one of Oxford's four academic divisions, the large groupings that run its subjects. Here it is the division covering mathematics and physics. The award goes to strong students as part of Oxford's central graduate funding.

Who can apply

• Level: You are starting a graduate course at Oxford, usually a one-year master's.
• Field of study: Mathematics or physics.
• Where you study: The University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.
• Grades: You have strong academic results; the award is based on merit.

How to apply

There is no separate form. When you apply for your Oxford course by the December or January deadline, you are automatically considered for this award as part of the normal admissions process.

How realistic are your chances?

The award is tied to specific one-year maths and physics courses at Oxford, so few people are eligible. But Oxford draws top applicants worldwide, and merit funding there is highly contested. There is nothing extra to submit, so a strong course application by the December or January deadline is what counts.
