Financial Support for International Students

Alex Hawkins — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 15:04:43 +0000

Deciding to come to the UK as an international student can be a significant financial commitment. Before you start on a programme of study at The ��̽��, you should carefully consider your financial expenses and living costs.

If you require a visa to study in the UK, evidence that you can support yourself (and any dependents) is a condition of gaining entry clearance into the UK, and so ensuring that you have planned ahead is essential.

There are variety of avenues you can explore below, ranging from government loan schemes to our own ��̽�� Scholarships.

Please check our fees and funding page for up to date fees.

The ��̽�� is registered with the US Department of Education as an foreign institution for the Federal Student Aid program. Eligible students may apply to borrow toward tuition fees and assistance with the cost of living.

��̽�� Bursary

Alex Hawkins — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 13:35:09 +0000

What is The ��̽�� Bursary?

The ��̽�� Bursary provides financial support for your maintenance and living costs on a sliding scale for Home undergraduates registered as students at ��̽�� who meet set Widening Participation criteria. The Bursary is aimed at supporting students to study at The ��̽�� who come from under-represented groups in higher education.

The ��̽�� Bursary:

is available each year of your studies as long as your annual household income remains under £45,000
may be revised each year if there are changes to your household income
does not distinguish between students living at home and those living away from home

The ��̽�� Bursary is �Դǳ��available for:

repeat years of study
postgraduate study or research
overseas students
EU students

The key criterion for assessing how ��̽�� Bursaries are awarded is based on household income assessments done by relevant government funding bodies, i.e. Student Finance England, Student Finance Northern Ireland, Student Awards Agency for Scotland and Student Finance Wales. This is why only Home students who have applied for Student Loans are eligible for The ��̽�� Bursary scheme.

When applying for government funding, both you and your parents must consent to sharing the financial information you provide on your Student Loan application. This will allow us to access your information and determine your eligibility for a ��̽�� Bursary.

In addition, Widening Participation markers are also considered. These are:

State school or college educated
Students whose parents have not attended university
Resident in a low Higher Education participation neighbourhood
In receipt of Disability Support Allowance

There is no formal application procedure and no separate application form for The ��̽�� Bursary.

Your eligibility for a ��̽�� Bursary will be assessed in the first few weeks of the first term of the academic year, as long as you have applied for a Student Loan. In subsequent years you will be re-assessed at the start of the academic year to ensure that you still meet the eligibility criteria for a ��̽�� Bursary.

Household Income Per Annum	��̽�� Bursary Per Annum
£25,000 or less	£3,000
£25,001 to £30,000	£2,000
£30,001 to £35,000	£1,500
£35,001 to £40,000	£500
£40,001 to £45,000	£250
Above £45,000	£0

Depending on how much your household income is, you can receive up to £3,000 per annum to support your studies while at The ��̽��. The table above gives the sliding scale of amounts that you can receive, based on your household income.

Once the Student Loans Company confirms your funding entitlement to us, we will write to you to confirm the bursary amount that you will receive from The ��̽��.

The deadline by which we must receive your household income information from the Student Loans Company is 1 December after the start of the academic year (e.g. we must receive this information by 1 December 2021 for students starting in September 2021).

The earlier you apply for student loan funding (we advise you to apply as soon as possible), the earlier we will be able to confirm what Bursary you will be eligible for.

Once we have assessed your information we will write to you informing you of your Bursary entitlement. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to accept The ��̽�� Bursary.

Please note that the Bursary is paid to support your living/maintenance costs, and is not re-payable.

You must sign the declaration, provide your bank account details and return your Bursar confirmation by the date specified.

The ��̽�� Bursary is paid directly into your bank account.

Bursaries of £500 or less will be paid in one instalment in late October.

Bursaries of more than £1,500 will be paid in three equal instalments in late October, early January and April. Actual dates of payment will be provided when you receive notification of your Bursary.

Postgraduate scholarships: Your transformative impact

Founded on the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with art, The ��̽�� works to increase understanding of the role played by art throughout history, in all societies and across all geographies – as well as being a champion for the importance of art in the present day.

The ��̽�� is committed to attracting the very best students from across the world, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. In a global context of reduced public funding for higher education, scholarships are among our highest philanthropic priorities.

The ��̽�� is proud to award an average of 90 postgraduate scholarships annually over the past five years. Unfortunately, the need expressed by students for financial aid dramatically outpaces the funds available.

We are exceptionally grateful to all supporters of The ��̽��’s Scholarship Fund. Their generosity has influenced the lives of hundreds of scholars who have directly benefited from truly transformative philanthropy.

Janet O’Brien PhD candidate, History of Art, Guildford Foundation Scholar, Lord Rothschild OM GBE Scholar, Edmond J. Safra Scholar, Soudavar Memorial Foundation Scholar, University of London Student Fund Scholar

Spotlight: The student perspective

After a successful career in law in London and Dublin, Janet O’Brien undertook The ��̽��’s MA History of Art in the specialist option Persian Painting and Transcultural Visuality: From the Mongols to the Safavids with Dr Babaie in 2014/15, receiving a Distinction. Following two years of intense curatorial training in Islamic art, first as Curatorial Intern at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and later as Curatorial Assistant at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Janet returned to The ��̽�� to embark on her PhD in 2017.

Janet’s research focuses on the emergence of royal portraiture in eighteenth-century Iran and the large and richly diverse group of portraits of Nādir Shāh, Janet explains the significant impact of scholarship support:

“The scholarship has certainly eased the financial burden, but more precious than that, it is a gift of possibilities that opens up a whole new world of knowledge, interconnections, and wonderment. I am very aware of the privilege of studying for a PhD at The ��̽�� and the extraordinary opportunities that are available to me. I therefore urge you to support this vital fund so that other aspiring students may fulfill their potentials to lead and serve the field of art history.”
Janet O’Brien, PhD Candidate, History of Art

The James Hughes-Hallett Undergraduate Scholarships

Established in memory of The ��̽��’s distinguished former Chairman, James Hughes-Hallett CMG from the academic year 2021/22, at least three awards will be made annually for undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds. Formed by an initial coalition of donors, and led by a generous gift from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, the landmark fund enables The ��̽�� to offer undergraduate scholarships for the first time.

The James Hughes-Hallett undergraduate scholarships are part of a larger strategy from The ��̽�� to address the general lack of awareness of Art History as a rigorous humanities subject, and the specific lack of teaching of art history in state schools (only 717 students took Art History A Level in 2018; and the subject is taught in fewer than 5% of state schools). The ��̽�� widen access online, in person, and through a broad range of programmes. Through these combined efforts, nearly 6,000 students around the UK annually participate in young people’s programming delivered by The ��̽��.

The Royal Historical Society (RHS) report on Race, Ethnicity and Equality reports that nationally only 11.3% of undergraduate cohorts in historical and philosophical studies are from Black, Asian, minority ethnic backgrounds.

Philanthropy will be the significant driver of change, as art history as a discipline faces challenges nationally and internationally.

Continuing a strategic commitment to diversity, inclusion and equality, The ��̽�� seeks to amplify diverse perspectives in art history, conservation and curating to ensure that art history is studied by people from all backgrounds with the highest potential.

James Hughes-Hallett was a tireless advocate of The ��̽��’s vision to open minds to the power of art. James’s commitment and leadership affected every aspect of The ��̽��. He was a student of The ��̽��, a proud parent, a dedicated donor, Governing Board member and Chairman from 2012-2017. In all he endeavoured, James demonstrated his passion for humanity, arts and education.

Eligible students for the James Hughes-Hallett Undergraduate Scholarship will be applicants attending non-selective UK state school or college, whose parents did not attend university, and will have a household income below £30,000. Additional consideration will be made for carers, care leavers, individuals with a disability, people from minority ethnic groups and refugees.

The Manton Foundation donates $12 million to The ��̽�� to create The Manton Centre for British Art

Ashleigh Toll — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 08:29:06 +0000

The Manton Foundation has donated $12 million to The ��̽�� to create the Manton Centre for British Art, it was announced today.

The Centre, named after British art collectors and philanthropists, Sir Edwin Manton and Florence, Lady Manton, will help secure The ��̽��’s ambition of becoming a world leader in the field of British art, and marks the continued commitment of the Manton family to arts education.

The Manton Centre for British Art will serve as an intellectual hub for art historians, curators, critics, artists and students nationally and internationally, providing a platform for sharing world-leading research and for teaching the next generation of British art specialists.

Located initially at The ��̽��’s current campus at Vernon Square, the Manton Centre will later be housed in the purpose-designed premises at Somerset House, providing the physical and intellectual home for The ��̽��’s research and teaching on British art.

The ��̽��’s specialists in British art will become members of the Centre and help shape its activities and development. The Centre will operate as the base for students taking modules in British art as part of their MA degree and also provide a home for The ��̽��’s PhD students researching British art.

Professor Mark Hallett, Märit Rausing Director, said: “This is a thrilling moment for The ��̽��. Our new Manton Centre will place British art in a global context, and aim to deliver truly world-class teaching and research in this rich, endlessly fascinating field of study. The Centre will support students through a generously endowed programme of scholarships, and offer a dynamic programme of activities and events across the year. We are hugely grateful to the Manton Foundation for their generous gift, which will enable us to support the very best new thinking and teaching on British art for generations to come.”

Julia Krapf and Sandy Niles, Trustees of The Manton Foundation, said: “After a visit to The ��̽�� and several discussions with its leadership and faculty, we came away impressed by the dedicated academic training offered to students interested in British art, including the period of most interest to our grandparents. We are excited and motivated by the opportunity to help The ��̽�� strengthen and formalize its research capacity in that area.”

The Centre will present an ambitious and dynamic programme of events including:

• An annual lecture in memory of Sir Edwin and Lady Manton

• An annual international conference devoted to a major topic in the field

• Regular workshops devoted to specific areas of British art

• An annual programme of seminars and lectures enabling scholars, curators, critics and artists to share their thinking and research

• An annual ‘scholar in residence’ programme, designed to host a leading figure in the field of British art.

The Manton Centre for British Art will also pursue collaborations with other scholarly and artistic institutions both in the UK and around the world. In pursing these collaborations and partnerships, the Centre will engage with all areas and periods of British art, and with a wide range of partners and interlocutors.

Sin and Self-Reflection: The Iconography and Viewership of ‘Morality Images’ in English Wall Painting, c.1300-1450

Supervisor: Dr Jessica Barker Advisors: Professor Alixe Bovey��Ի� Dr Jane Spooner

Funded by with support from the

My research focuses on the rise of ‘morality’ wall paintings in England in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries with the aim of revaluating how sin was understood during this period. These paintings, which include subjects such as the Warning to the Gossipers and the Seven Deadly Sins, are most often located in rural churches, and their inaccessibility and often poorly preserved condition means this rich corpus of medieval works of art has been overlooked. The lack of scholarly and public awareness means they are quickly crumbling from the walls due to a lack of funding for their proper preservation and conservation. They are therefore in urgent need of proper record and study.

Led by visual and textual analysis, my thesis focuses on this rich but overlooked corpus of medieval works of art to examine the notion of ‘sin’ and the ways in which people conceptualise emotions and behaviour. The wall paintings’ monumental scale and diagrammatic form reveal an innovative use of imagery to show the theological, sociological, and even medical origins of sin. I focus on particular examples, such as the paintings at Trotton, Peakirk, and , to help reconsider the artistic and conceptual inventiveness of wall paintings at this time. By reevaluating the patronage of these paintings, I aim to examine the shared emotional codes and standards of the period. The paintings reveal a complex cognitive and moral landscape of the late Middle Ages as well as evidence of changing attitudes to sin and regulations of thought, behaviour, and emotion that urgently need interpreting.
