Awards

About the award: The College offer an annual Domus Research Prize worth £500. The prize aims to recongise students who research and communication skills excel, both in written and oral format. There are three categories of awards: the Keene Domus Prize for research in any academic area; the Dobson Prize for students in the MPLS division, and the Busuttil Domus Prize for research in the areas of Business, Criminology, Government, International Relations, Law or Politics.
Application process: applications are made by submitting an article of no more than 1,000 words (including the title and up to one diagram), that describes an element of your research that you think is particularly novel, exciting, or important. Articles should be aimed at non-specialists audiences.
The Academic Committee will short-list candidates who will then be invited to make a 15-minute presentation at the annual Gaudy, to an audience of fellows, students and alumni. The audience will vote to select 3 winners and 2 runners-up (a prize of £50, made possible by Mr Afshin Ahmadian).
Deadlines: the Domus Research Prize is usually advertised in the long vacation, with all students emailed when applications are open. Applications will close in early August, with the Gaudy taking place in the first few weeks of September.

About the award: The Thomas Linacre Studentships recognise outstanding individual contributions to the life of the College, with an award of £500.  These Studentships are funded in perpetuity thanks to the generous gifts of many College members – Old Members, Fellows, students, staff – and Friends, who named chairs in the Dining Hall and Small Dining Room.

About the award: Students are invited to apply for a prize of £1,000 from the Frederick Mulder Prize 2023-2024. This is a fantastic opportunity for students undertaking fieldwork in the fields related to social deprivation or social injustice. An award of £1,000 will be made to at least two successful applicants.

The Mulder Fund was established in 2004 following a donation from alumnus Frederick Mulder (1968). This is a competitive award, and provides an excellent opportunity for students who are soon to embark on fieldwork. Previous grants have been awarded to support students doing fieldwork in Kenya, Malawi, and the Republic of Ireland, with projects spanning across numerous fields such as Migration Studies, Conservation and Management, African Studies, and Geography. We recognise that the subject of social deprivation and injustice may span many academic fields, and as such the award will not be limited to any specific courses.

Application process: Awards will be made based on the merit and relevance to social deprivation/injustice of the applications. To apply, please complete this form. Applicants will be required to upload an up-to-date CV and a supporting statement from their academic supervisor.

Deadline: Applications will be accepted from Monday 11th of December to Friday 26th of January.
