The Wellcome Trust currently allows one nominated Master’s Award to the MA in the History of Medicine annually. Undergraduates interested in the MA are encouraged to contact the Centre for more information.

As an established centre for the study of medical history, CHM may put forward one candidate per year for the Wellcome Trust's generous and extremely competitive MA funding. We encourage all strong candidates enrolling on the MA for the History of Medicine to consider this funding stream seriously.

If you are interested in applying to the Wellcome Trust Master’s Award, please contact the Course Director for the MA in the History of Medicine, Prof. Hilary Marland, in the first instance.

Should you then wish to apply for the Wellcome Trust MA award, the first stage is to prepare a brief preliminary proposal, as described below. A committee of CHM staff will consider all submitted proposals, and select the strongest. The chosen candidate will then work closely with an academic sponsor and the Director of the Centre for the History of Medicine to prepare a full proposal. A draft of this proposal will be due well in advance of the final Warwick deadline, in order to give the candidate sufficient time to respond to detailed feedback. The final internal deadline is also in advance of the Wellcome Trust deadline in order to allow processing through University-wide systems.
