About this position

This ESRC studentship supports a structured route from the MSc in Japanese Studies to doctoral research at the University of Oxford. It is offered through the Grand Union Doctoral Training Partnership, a joint programme involving the University of Oxford, Brunel University London and the Open University, and is based at Oxford’s School of Global and Area Studies.

The award is designed for students whose research interests lie in the social sciences with a focus on Japan. The advert highlights a broad range of possible areas, including anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, politics, social policy and sociology. Funding follows a 1+3.5 structure, combining taught preparation in Japanese Studies with progression into a DPhil and a compulsory placement period.

The scholarship is intended for candidates planning a research degree pathway at Oxford rather than a standalone master’s course. It is open to UK and international applicants, and the programme emphasises full-time study in the United Kingdom with research-related activity potentially including fieldwork, conferences and training abroad.

Funding details

Tax-free living allowance of £20,780 per year (about €24,500), full tuition fees covered for 4.5 years under the 1+3.5 structure, with possible additional funding for fieldwork, conferences and placements. Does not cover visa costs, International Health Surcharge, or travel expenses for international students.

What's required

Applicants need a good bachelor’s degree with distinction, such as a First Class or Upper Second Class from a UK research institution or an equivalent qualification. The scholarship is for students who wish to complete the MSc in Japanese Studies and then proceed directly to a DPhil (PhD) at Oxford. The research field must fall within the social sciences with a focus on Japan, such as anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, politics, social policy or sociology. No Master’s degree is required, but applicants who already hold a Master’s degree in the social sciences should apply directly for the PhD programme instead. The programme is open to both UK and international applicants, but recipients must be based in the United Kingdom for the full funding period apart from approved fieldwork, conferences and training abroad.

How to apply

Apply to the University of Oxford for the degree programme. In the same application form, choose the ESRC Grand Union DTP scholarship under the Scholarships section and confirm that you intend to proceed to a research degree. Also complete the separate Grand Union DTP application form and upload it with your Oxford application.
