The Thriplow Charitable Trust has established a bursary for the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies by distance-learning.
The Thriplow Charitable Trust bursary will be awarded in October 2025. This £5,000 bursary seeks to support an outstanding student based in the UK, who might not otherwise be able to gain access to the MA in Refugee Protection.
Award criteria
Applicants for the Thriplow Charitable Trust bursary must:
- Have the offer of a place on the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies by distance-learning; and
- Demonstrate outstanding academic merit or potential in the field of study, evidenced particularly by past achievements; and
- Hold an undergraduate degree (e.g. bachelor) that is comparable to a UK upper second class honours degree, in political science or other relevant subject; and
- Be unable to take up the offer of a place on the MA in Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies due to financial circumstances; and
Preference will be given to those resident in the UK. Students currently studying for a University of London award are ineligible for this scholarship. Applicants who already hold a Master’s degree will not usually be privileged in the scholarship selection process.
