Bursaries and Grants

Students have received funding from a variety of bodies in the past, including the SAAS, Museums Galleries Scotland and charitable trusts. Recently the AHRC has made grants available in the field of Museum and Gallery Studies. Prospective students should investigate potential funding for themselves and we will be happy to help with specific queries.

We have one AHRC-funded place available for academic year 2012-3.  View details of how to apply>>
