Anglo-Korean Society Post-Graduate Bursary 
Academic Session 2010/2011

The Anglo-Korean Society through the Bursary Committee of the British
Association for Korean Studies is offering one or more £500 bursaries on a
competitive basis to post-graduate students. 

The Anglo-Korean Society was founded in 1956 to foster friendship between the
United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea.  By providing opportunities for
contacts between British nationals and Koreans residing in or visiting Britain,
the Society seeks to bring together everyone in the UK who has an interest in
Korean matters, and to act as a forum for social and cultural exchange in an
environment of friendship and understanding.  

Details of the Anglo-Korean Society Post-Graduate Bursary Programme are as
follows:
1) the bursary is open to students of any nationality who are registered to do a
post-graduate degree at a British university.

2) the term ‘post-graduate’ includes taught and research degrees.

3) the programme of study or research must be largely if not wholly focussed on
Korea, past or present.

4) preference will be given to programmes of study or research in the area of
the humanities or social sciences broadly defined, although other areas could
be given consideration in exceptional circumstances. 

5) preference will be given to students whose programme of study or research
includes the study of and/or the use of the Korean language.

6) there is no restriction on how the bursary will be used by the student.

7) at the end of the academic session in which the bursary is received,  the
recipient will write a brief letter describing how the bursary furthered the
recipient’s studies. This should be addressed to the Anglo-Korean Society and
sent to the chairman of the Bursary Committee of the British Association for
Korean Studies.

8) the assistance of the Anglo-Korean Society should be mentioned in any work
which results from the period of research supported by the AKS Post-Graduate
Bursary.

1) complete an application form. 

2) obtain two (2) letters of recommendation from tutors or lecturers.
