International relations conference scholarships

The English-Speaking Union (ESU) is offering a small number of scholarships to enable young lawyers, journalists, teachers, university lecturers and other candidates to attend an international relations conference at Mansfield College, Oxford, from August 9 to15.

The scholarship covers the cost of lectures, receptions, visits, accommodation and meals at the college but not travel costs to and from Oxford. Applicants must have a first degree in international relations or a related discipline, or have significant experience in this area.

They should obtain a letter of recommendation from ESU Malta, and once past the preliminary vetting procedure, they should complete an application form, submit a passport-sized photograph, and a 150-word statement of their interest in attending the conference.

Applications for local vetting close on Friday.
