The Jeremiah Dalziel Prize

About the Prize 

  • Prizes are available for both on-programme PhD students and MSc students.
  • Applications are invited for these prizes which are awarded annually to the most meritorious student(s) registered at this University as a candidate for a postgraduate degree in the field of British History (in its widest sense and including the activities of the British overseas). This is judged on the basis of the submitted work and the supervisor’s supporting statement.
  • For PhD students, we expect that the prize-winning chapter could be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
  • The committee reserve the right to make no awards if applications are not of a suitable standard
  • Each prize will be paid in a single lump sum.
  • The School will usually advertise the winners’ names. Winners who wish their name to be withheld must notify the Graduate School office in writing at the time of submission.
