for The Prince\u2019s Foundation School of Traditional Arts, commencing September 2022<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With funding from the Hamish Ogston Foundation, two full MA scholarships will be awarded by the Commonwealth Heritage Forum to students from Commonwealth countries to undertake the MA in Traditional Arts at The Prince\u2019s Foundation School of Traditional Arts<\/a> in the United Kingdom, beginning in September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MA in Traditional Arts course<\/a> is a full-time, two-year course at The Prince\u2019s Foundation School of Traditional Arts in London, UK.  Students acquire skills, techniques and critical understanding in a range of traditional arts and crafts alongside associated philosophies\u2014allowing them to advance their existing skills. More information about the course, including its structure and attendance requirements, can be found online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hamish Ogston Foundation Commonwealth MA Scholarships will be transformational for the successful candidates\u2014opening up opportunities for a successful career in the heritage and conservation sectors.  We are looking for students who want to specialise in specific heritage crafts relevant to their own country, but who also have a wide interest in heritage, building crafts and architectural conservation.  For example, there will be opportunities in summer 2023 (between years 1 and 2) for students to participate in live training projects with the Commonwealth Heritage Forum.  In particular, it is crucial that scholarship recipients have a desire to develop their skills to improve the historic built environment for this, and future, generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MA scholarships are intended for those working and studying in the areas of traditional building and craft skills that are most relevant to, or most needed in, their own country and its heritage.  Priority will be given to those seeking to advance their knowledge, career, contribution and sector leadership in respect of the following fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
