The Yousef Jameel Scholarship is generously funded by Sheikh Yousef Abdul Latif Jameel. This fully funded research scholarship is available to one graduate student demonstrating exceptional academic merit and/or potential, commencing a course of study in the history of Islamic art at the University’s Faculty of Oriental Studies.
Am I eligible?
The scholarship will be awarded on academic merit and is open to applicants from any country who are applying to a graduate course of study in the history of Islamic art at the University’s Faculty of Oriental Studies.
Applicants should be intending to conduct research in any subject of Islamic art that the University’s current staff are able to supervise at doctoral level; and/or whose research projects make use of the University’s holdings in Islamic art (including, but without limitation, those in the Ashmoleon Museum, the Bodleian Library, the Museum of the History of Science and the Pitt-Rivers Museum). Preference will be given to DPhil students but funding may be available to candidates who are required to take the MPhil or MSt in Islamic Art and Archaeology before commencing their doctoral training.
Candidates should be applying to start a new graduate course at Oxford. This scholarship is open to candidates studying for degree-bearing courses, with the exception of Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma courses.
Please ensure you meet the requirements for entry to your course, including English language requirements. See the Course Guide for more information.
What does it cover?
100% of university and college fees, and a grant for living costs (rate to be confirmed).
The award is made for the full duration of a student's fee liability for the agreed course. If your scholarship is offered for a course lasting more than one year, the continuation of your scholarship each year is subject to an annual renewal process based upon satisfactory academic progress.
How do I apply?
In order to be considered for this scholarship, you must submit your application for graduate study by the relevant January deadline (20 January 2012) and you must have secured a place on your chosen programme of study by the expected final decision date (17 March 2012). All applicants who have secured a place on an eligible course of study within the Faculty of Oriental Studies will automatically be considered for this scholarship by the faculty.
In the unlikely event that these scholarships are not awarded following the January deadline, it is possible that applications with an outstanding admissions decision after this date, or applications which are re-evaluated against the later March deadline field, may be eligible for scholarship consideration. However, we strongly recommend that you apply in full by the January deadline, in order to be considered for the scholarship. If you do not apply in full by the deadline, you are unlikely to be considered for the scholarship.
How will I know if I have been successful?
The successful candidate has been notified. If you have not heard from us, then your application has not been selected for this scholarship. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we are unable to contact unsuccessful applicants individually or provide feedback on applications.
