Winchester Reading Scholarship

The Winchester Reading Studentship will be offered to candidates for the MPhil in English Studies from October 2026 whose research focuses on English prose and poetry pre-1867. The studentship will consist of the university composition fee (tuition/College fees) at the home rate plus the standard UKRI-level maintenance award, at the pro-rata rate for the period of an MPhil (9 months). The successful awardee will be chosen based on academic merit. Home and overseas applicants will be considered, but please note that the level of funding available is only available at the Home rate. All students who are offered a place to study the MPhil in English Studies and who indicate that they are seeking funding will be considered for the award.
