SWITZERLAND - OXFORD UNIVERSITY
The Berrow Foundation scholarships of Lincoln College were set up to create further links between Switzerland and Great Britain. The University of Oxford provides not only learning, sports, unequalled opportunities for lifelong friendships and valued contacts, but also broaden its members' outlook...
A generous gift from the Marquis de Amodio awards up to four annual Berrow Foundation Scholarships to graduates from Swiss universities for advanced study at the University of Oxford. These awards cover tuition fees and provide a generous maintenance allowance. They are tenable for up to three years. The recipient may follow any course of study within the University leading to the award of a higher degree, provided he or she is accepted by both Lincoln College and the relevant University Department.
Similarly, the Lord Florey Scholarship is awarded to students of the life sciences from any Swiss University or ETHZ/EPFL.
