Support for graduate students – change lives and change the world

From global health to the future of energy, our graduate students play a vital role in driving forward research, delivering insights and making breakthroughs. They are the researchers, academics and industrial leaders of the future, addressing pressing global challenges which affect us all – but they need your help to succeed.

Being able to offer full funding to our postgraduate taught and research students is a significant challenge. We need to ensure that funding is no longer a barrier to academically outstanding graduate students taking up their places at Oxford.

This year, the University of Oxford is proud to be participating in Giving Tuesday, a global movement that aims to encourage people to give to causes they care about. By making a gift to our Giving Tuesday campaign, you’ll be providing graduate students with the financial support they need to undertake further study at the University, and realise their full academic potential.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference.
