The University of Buckingham invites applications for the Paul E. H. Davis MA (research) Scholarships in English. The award, made possible through the generosity of our friend and alumnus Dr Davis, will cover full fees for the equivalent of one full year of study at UK Home Fee rates. International students are welcome to apply but will need to fund any difference between Home and International fees. Successful applicants may choose to take up the award in either September 2024 or January 2025.

The University of Buckingham is a small, independent university on a picturesque campus in the heart of England, with close links to London and Oxford. Although small, Buckingham English has a team of dedicated research-active academics working across periods and forms. While we encourage interest from candidates in all areas of English literary studies, we would particularly welcome those working in our fields of excellence: Inklings, C. S. Lewis, or J. R. R. Tolkien (to work with Dr Sarah Waters); Charles Dickens (Dr Pete Orford); or 21st century prose fictions (Dr Peter Sloane).

We have a vibrant international community of postgraduate research students, and hope with these scholarships to encourage bright, passionate students to join our institution to attain an MA in English without fee loan debt.
