Applications are now open for two fully funded scholarships available to students and craftspeople from Commonwealth countries to undertake an MA in Traditional Arts at the Prince’s Foundation School. The MA is a full-time, two-year, taught course. Students acquire skills, techniques, and critical understanding in a range of traditional arts and crafts alongside associated philosophies.
The two scholarships, made possible by the Commonwealth Heritage Forum, will last for the duration of the two-year Programme, starting in September 2023 and finishing in July 2025.
