Study in the UK
Application Information – For PH.D. Studies in the UK
Langham Scholarships are designed to help theological teachers , potential theological teachers, or strategic Christian leaders in the Majority World. Grants are available to those intending to study for doctorates in theology at British universities and universities and seminaries in the Majority World (The Developing World and Eastern Europe). A small number of grants are available each year for students who wish to undertake doctoral research whilst remaining based in the Majority World. (For further information please contact scholarships.lpuki@langhampartnership.org )
We do not hold scholarship funds of our own but pass on funds that are made available to us by charitable bodies, churches and individual Christians. As well as finance, we seek to provide advice, friendship and pastoral care for all our scholars.
The Langham Partnership 1910 Centenary PhD Scholarships
Langham Partnership is working with four centres of theological training in the UK to offer four PhD scholarships starting in 2010, as a way of marking the centenary of the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference of 1910. The scholarships are for PhD students from the Majority (Developing) World. They are available for study at Edinburgh University, the Oxford Centre of Mission Studies, London School of Theology and International Christian College, Glasgow.
Langham Partnership has over the past 30 years helped to sponsor almost 300 scholars to complete PhD degrees. The work of the Langham Partnership scholarship programme is focused on the Majority (Developing) World, and the 1910 Centenary PhD Scholarships are intended to benefit students from there. The Edinburgh World Missionary Conference of 1910 anticipated the predominant role which church leaders from the Global South would play in the future, and this scheme is therefore an appropriate way of marking its centenary. The Scholarships represent the commitment of the four institutions to engage in dialogue with churches in the Developing World (Majority), and assist with the training of strategic church leaders from there.
Applicants must demonstrate that they have outstanding academic potential, be strategic Christian leaders, and have strong backing from established Christian leadership within the Majority World. Full eligibility criteria can be obtained from the Langham Partnership website www.langhampartnership.org, and the four participating institutions.
Further enquiries can be addressed to scholarships.lpuki@langhampartnership.org.
Closing date for applications is 30 November 2009.
