The Oxford-Creat Group Graduate Scholarship is jointly funded by the University of Oxford and Creat Group of Beijing. It supports full-time study in the MBA, Master of Public Policy, MSc Financial Economics, or MSc Law and Finance at Oxford.
Applicants are considered through their graduate-course application; there is no separate scholarship form. The funders intend recipients to contribute to the development of China’s economy over their careers. Details for 2027/28 entry are not yet confirmed, so the scholarship is currently between cycles.
