EXETER COLLEGE, OXFORD

The Arthur Peacocke Graduate Studentship in Theology

Following a generous gift made in memory for the late Arthur Peacocke (who matriculated at Exeter College in 1942 to study Chemistry, before pursuing an eminent career as a scientist and theologian), Exeter College seeks to elect to the Arthur Peacocke Graduate Studentship from among students who have an offer of admission to study for a DPhil researching on the relationships between the sciences and religion, based in the Faculty of Theology at Oxford University.

The successful candidate will:

– be an applicant to the University of Oxford for admission to read for a DPhil on the relationships between science and religion, who has been offered a place in the Faculty of Theology at Oxford University.

The value of this Studentship is:

– Course Fees, up to the full “Home/EU” rate; – A maintenance stipend up to that of the UK’s Arts & Humanities Research Council stipend (£14,777 in 2018-19).

It should be noted that candidates who will be liable for Course Fees at the “Overseas” rate and who are eligible for this Studentship will be considered; but this Studentship cannot fund all the course- related costs of such a student (this Studentship may be held by such a candidate in conjunction with another award which makes up a full-cost funding package, if the student has obtained such an additional award).

The Studentship shall be tenable for one year in the first instance, and shall be renewable – subject to satisfactory academic progress – for the remainder of the candidate’s normal period of fee liability for their course.

How to apply

Note: you cannot select Exeter College when applying for the DPhil in Theology at Oxford. (Except for the Arthur Peacocke student, the College does not normally accept students to read for higher degrees in Theology). You should, when applying to Oxford, choose any available College, or choose to make an open application, as you wish. Exeter College will work in conjunction with the Faculty of Theology to identify all eligible candidates, regardless of the College to which they have been assigned. If we offer this Scholarship we will also offer you a place at Exeter College, which will take the place of any earlier college offer you may have. There is no separate application process for this Scholarship; you simply need to apply for your graduate course by the relevant January deadline.
