 In partnership with Scott Logic and Trevelyan College, The Department of Mathematical Sciences is offering a scholarship to a student from a low or middle income country (as defined below) who wishes to study for a Masters in Mathematical Sciences , or a Masters in Particles, Strings and Cosmology. The scholarship covers full fees and accommodation for one year at Trevelyan College, and includes full catering during term time. The Global Masters Scholarship in Mathematical Sciences builds on the foundation laid by the African MSc Scholarship offered by the department in previous years.

Further particulars:

• The scholarship is for a one-year taught course leading to the award of an MSc degree in Mathematical Sciences or an MSc degree in Particles, Strings and Cosmology.
• Applicants should hold a relevant honours degree of sufficient standard from a low or middle income country, as defined by the DAC List of ODA Receipients here.
• Applicants should not have previously studied at a university outside of one of the countries above.
• Applicants will need to provide evidence of possessing a qualification in English language that meets the minimum requirement. Details can be found here.
• Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented at Durham University.
• The financial need of the applicant will be a factor in the decision-making process.
• For the taught MScs, the awardee is required to attend all taught components of the chosen course and complete all assignments prescribed, including a dissertation. The two taught MSc programmes start in October 2022.

The closing date for applications is May 20th 2022.
