Please consult the Scholarships section and the application form section on The Berrow Foundation website.

Two pieces of written work are required, even if your university application does not require written work. Previously submitted academic essays or laboratory reports are suitable. Candidates often provide excerpts from longer works, such as introductory sections and key chapters.

If you do not have two pieces of written work, a description of an academic project or experience that demonstrates your analytical approach may be acceptable. However, previously submitted work is recommended.

Please note that motivation letters or personal statements do not constitute written work.

You will also be required to provide a simplified overview of each piece of written work on the application form. This is particularly helpful for complex or highly specialised work.

A single piece of written work should be around 2,000 words in length (including footnotes).

One of the two pieces of written works may be co-authored, provided you clearly specify your contribution and indicate which parts you worked on and/or wrote. At least one piece must be solely your own work.

The Berrow Foundation does not require translations of Swiss diplomas or university transcripts. If your university provides official English versions, these are helpful. Otherwise, submitting copies in the original language (German, French, etc.) is acceptable.

The personal statement should be no longer than 400 words.

No. The application form defines all required content. Regarding motivation and purpose, the application form contains a "personal statement" section.

Yes, the references required for the scholarship application may (but need not) be the same as those submitted for your university application.

No.

No. If you are a native English speaker, please indicate this in your application form. Should you be shortlisted, you will be invited to an interview held in the English language which will demonstrate your proficiency.

No. Substantial prior experience in English, such as studying, attending lectures, or conducting research in English, is generally sufficient to meet the Scholarships’ English language requirement, and a formal certificate is not required. If you are shortlisted, you will be invited to an interview, during which you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your English proficiency. Please note that this applies only to the Scholarship application; a formal English language certificate may still be required for your course application, which is independent from the Scholarship application and handled by the relevant Faculty/Department.

Please consult the Scholarships section on The Berrow Foundation website.

In-person interviews are recommended. In very exceptional circumstances an online interview may be arranged.

It is recommended and more advantageous to apply to the university faculty with a guaranteed Berrow Foundation Scholarship but this is, of course, your choice.

Candidates are required to state Lincoln College as their preferred college choice when applying for their chosen course. However, if Lincoln College does not normally offer your course, it cannot be selected and you should name a different college on the application form. Should you then receive an offer from the relevant Faculty/Department and be awarded a Berrow Foundation Scholarship, Lincoln College will contact the college that made the offer and request your release to Lincoln College.

Please contact Lincoln College directly at admissions@lincoln.ox.ac.uk.

Accommodation at Lincoln College is strongly recommended as it provides an excellent foundation for students to become part of the vibrant Lincoln community.
