Oxford-Wolfson Min Sunshik Graduate Scholarship in
Modern Korean Literature
(for Master of Studies in Korean Studies)

Wolfson College and the International Communication Foundation are 
offering a fully-funded graduate scholarship at the University of Oxford 
from the beginning of the academic year 2017-2018 for a student 
undertaking a Master of Studies in Korean Studies. Preference will be 
given to applicants focussing on Modern Korean Literature and 
Translation Studies.

The Scholarship is open to applicants who are ordinarily resident in the 
UK, EEA or Switzerland and will cover: tuition fees, college fees, and a 
living stipend to the equivalent of the UK Research Council rate 
(£14,296 for 2016-17). The successful scholar will become a member of 
Wolfson College.

We are seeking young scholars who intend to pursue careers dedicated to 
relating Korean Literature to World Literature through the translation 
and interpretation of Modern Korean Literature. The successful applicant 
will also be expected to participate in the academic life of Wolfson 
College.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates who are 
applying for entry to the Faculty of Oriental Studies to commence a 
taught postgraduate degree in the field of Korean Studies, with a focus 
on Korean Literature, from October 2017. The Scholarship is awarded on 
the basis of academic merit and potential. If there are two or more 
candidates of equal academic merit, priority will be given to the 
candidate who has listed Wolfson as his or her first choice college on 
the University application form.

Applicants, whether internal or external, should apply to the University 
under the standard procedures for graduate degrees for 2017-18. The 
University’s application procedures are described at 
https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/applying-to-oxford/application-guide?wssl=1.

The final deadline for applications is 20 January 2017.
