Institute of Modern Languages Research - Robson-Scott Travelling Scholarship

Robson-Scott Travelling Scholarship

You will receive financial support for travel abroad as part of research stays relating to your postgraduate work on the languages and literatures of German-speaking, Dutch or Scandinavian cultures. The funding comes from a memorial fund at the University of London, which was established in 1980 in honour of Professor W.D. Robson-Scott. The exact amount is not disclosed, as it depends on the fund’s annual returns.

• Field: Your research focuses on the languages and literatures of German-speaking countries, the Netherlands or Scandinavia.
