As a key goal of the scholarship is to diversify the scholars from the African continent who contribute original and important research to African Studies, this scholarship is only open to scholars normally domiciled in African countries.

Preference will be given to those studying conflict resolution, elections, technology, peacebuilding, gender, and/or governance in African contexts, although the selection panel may consider other areas in the field of politics and international development.

Scholarship Details of 2022 Catto Combined MSc and Ph.D. Scholarships:

The Catto Combined MSc and Ph.D. scholarships have been designed to offer a combined package in order to enable those who may not feel they have sufficient research experience to embark on a Ph.D. to get that grounding with an MSc.

The MSc year helps build a bridge between undergraduate studies and the Ph.D. We hope the combined package of support encourages some who may not have thought a Ph.D. was in reach to re-consider.
