Oxford-Leon E and Iris L Beghian Graduate Scholarships

The scholarship is jointly funded by the University and by a donation from the estate of Leon and Iris Beghian. Leon Beghian came to Magdalen College in 1938 to study Physics. After scientific research during the war, he graduated with a first-class degree in 1947, and then undertook a DPhil at Oxford before progressing to a distinguished career in Physics in the USA.

Two full scholarships are available to applicants who are applying to a full-time DPhil course. Eligible courses will be confirmed shortly. You must have been ordinarily resident in the UK for at least five years prior to the start of your course. The scholarship is only tenable at Magdalen College. All eligible applicants will be considered for this scholarship, regardless of which college (if any) you state as your preference on the graduate application form. However, successful applicants will be transferred to Magdalen College in order to take up the scholarship.
