UK: The Parkes East and Central European Scholarships in Jewish History and Culture, University of Southampton

Overview

One Scholarship (tuition fees and maintenance) is available for citizens of select East and East-Central European countries to study the MA Jewish History and Culture at the School of Humanities, University of Southampton, UK.

The University of Southampton is home to the Parkes Institute, one of the foremost centres for the study of Jewish history, culture, and literature in the U.K., with specialists in ancient and modern Jewish history, literature, and culture, and the specific histories of British, German, and East European Jewries. The Parkes Library and Archive is an outstanding resource for the study of Jewish history and culture.

The University seeks candidates who intend to use the degree to further an existing career in cultural, educational, archeographical, or communal work, such as museum professionals and educators; archivists; school teachers; civil servants engaged in issues related to Jews and Judaism, ethnic relations, migration, and the like; community workers for whom the degree will provide enrichment for their current work (e.g. work with Holocaust survivors)
