We are offering one scholarship for a Chinese student wishing to study the Curating Contemporary Design MA. The scholarship covers fees and a maintenance grant of £10,000 for 2011/12 entry. It is supported by the Sino-British Fellowship Trust.

We are looking for candidates with experience of curating contemporary art, design and media who would benefit from the programme in London. On completion, you must return to China to further develop your curatorial practice.

If you wish to apply for the scholarship, you need to submit:

• a Kingston University masters application form;
• a referee form; and
• 1,000 word statement (written in English) explaining how the scholarship would make a difference to your professional development.
