A substantial proportion of graduate students receive some form of scholarship from the College. A range of graduate scholarships are available in a variety of subjects.
This page outlines the conditions and availability of individual graduate scholarships.
Diversity and Equal Opportunity
The Queen’s College embraces diversity and equal opportunity. Applications to our graduate scholarships are particularly welcome from women, disabled people, and people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds, as these groups are currently under-represented among postgraduates and academics in Oxford. The University’s full equal opportunity policy is available on the Equality Policy page of the University website.
The Queen’s College shares the University’s commitment ‘to fostering an inclusive culture which promotes equality, values diversity and maintains a working, learning and social environment in which the rights and dignity of all its staff and students are respected.’ For specific information on The Queen’s College’s equal opportunities policy, please visit the Equality page of the College website.
