The Tang Scholarship

The Scholarship was made possible by a grant from the Tang Foundation, to mark the award in 2018 of the Tang Prize for the Rule of Law to Professor Joseph Raz, Emeritus Fellow of Balliol.

Candidates will have an offer of admission to Oxford University and a place at Balliol College to read for the BPhil or DPhil in the Faculty of Philosophy or the DPhil in Legal Philosophy in the Faculty of Law. The scholar must be studying or researching a topic related to the rule of law in its broadest sense.

The Scholarship may be offered in conjunction with a University or Faculty award or it may be offered separately. If the Scholarship is awarded alone, its value will be up to £20,000 per annum. The award is made for the full duration of the period of fee liability for the agreed course, subject to satisfactory academic progress being made.

Applicants must apply to the University of Oxford for admission to a higher degree by the University's second deadline in January. No separate application is required to be considered for this award.
