The Glanely Food and Farming Scholarship

The University of Exeter is pleased to offer this scholarship, a fee reduction worth £5000, to up to five full time students enrolling on our MA Food Studies programme in 2026/2027. This scholarship is open to home and international students.

Scholarship recipients will be selected on:

·       Strength of previous achievement in a relevant field, whether academic or practical

·       Potential for exceptional performance on the MA Food Studies course

·       Suitability of the course to supporting the applicant’s career ambitions

This scholarship is intended to support the most promising applicants to the MA Food Studies programme with the cost of their tuition fees, regardless of where they are from.

The funding will be awarded to the candidate/s who can best demonstrate an exceptional track record and future potential for work in this field, and whose career ambitions will be best supported by their participation in the course.
