The Oxford University College – Burma Graduate Scholarship supports one student applying to an eligible full-time graduate course at Oxford. It is jointly funded by the University of Oxford and donors to University College, where the award must be held.
Applicants to the Master of Public Policy receive preference, but other full-time courses accepted by University College may qualify. Oxford’s central scholarship listing says details for 2027–28 entry remain to be confirmed.
Benefits & funding
- The scholarship pays the full course fees and provides a grant toward living costs.
- Funding continues for the full period during which the recipient is liable for fees on the agreed course.
- One full scholarship is available, and the recipient must hold it at University College.
Eligibility
- Applicants must either be Myanmar nationals or have been born in Myanmar.
- Applicants must seek admission to a full-time graduate course in a subject accepted by University College.
- Master of Public Policy applicants receive preference; the MPP normally requires a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree, or an equivalent qualification.
- No age, gender, residency, or professional-experience requirement is stated for the scholarship.
- The award is tenable only at University College, but applicants are considered regardless of the college preference stated in their graduate application.
