International Student Mobility Support – SGSST ISMS

From the start of the 2021-2022 academic year, SGSST offers a bursary to support international mobility for new international students selected by the Teaching and Learning Board for the Master’s in Gender Study, to support them through the whole of the course (Master’s level 1 and Master’s level 2).

In order to be eligible for this bursary, applicants must:

  1. Be selected by the Master’s course admissions panel of the Teaching and Learning Board for the Master’s in Gender Studies;
  2. Have completed all of their secondary education and their first degree in a country other than France; preference will be given to applicants from outside the European Union.

One applicant will be selected each year to receive the bursary, of 5,000 euro per year for two years (10,000 euro in total).

The selection criteria for award of the bursary are as follows:

  1. Excellence of academic record;
  2. Relevance of proposed research to SGSST’s strategic focuses;
  3. Limited availability of training in gender and/or sexuality studies in the country where the applicant most recently studied;
  4. A statement of financial resources.

Information about the process for applying for this bursary will be sent to international students selected for entry to the Master’s during the summer; the successful applicant will be informed at the start of the academic year.

The proposed international placement should be related to the student’s dissertation or thesis, and be agreed with the student’s tutor or supervisor.
