SCHOLARSHIPS & BURSARIES
The Europaeum is able to support a small number of exchanges every year, with the generous help and cooperation of selected member universities. Usually, each year one student from each of the three universities below comes to Oxford, and three Oxford students use one bursary each to go to Prague, Geneva or Helsinki. Bursaries should be used up in the same academic year.
Click one of the options below for further information, including reports from previous recipients.
The Europaeum bursaries are meant to support 3-4 weeks of self-directed study which may or may not include contact with an academic advisor. The bursaries are a contribution towards travel, accommodation and food during the stay.
Students planning for their trip to Geneva, Prague or Helsinki should get in touch with the contact person in the advertisement at one of these universities to see what support and help may be available for the trip.
Students coming to Oxford should note that the Europaeum has no connection with any colleges and can therefore not assist with finding college accommodation. Also, bursary recipients have no official status at the University of Oxford (such as visiting student status), and they will not be connected with a department or research unit. This usually requires payment of a fee which is not included in the bursary, and it is up to the student to apply for official visiting student status and pay the fee themselves. Occasionally, some departments or research units may agree to partially integrate a bursary recipient without official status, but this is not expected. Students who contact a department or research unit in Oxford in relation to their research trip should clarify that they will not have any official status with the University.
The Europaeum can support students coming to Oxford by writing a letter to the Bodleian Libraries which will facilitate getting a reader’s card issued.
Please also consult our events page and information about the Scholars Programme on opportunities for enrolled students at our member universities.
