National Monuments Service World Heritage Scholarship Programme 2025

The National Monuments Service World Heritage Scholarship programme has been established in support of the newly proposed National Strategy for World Heritage. A goal of the Strategy is to advocate for World Heritage nationally and internationally and a principle means of doing this is through education and capacity building initiatives. To this end, Ireland’s National Monuments Service is funding scholarships for citizens of Small Island Developing States* (SIDS) and EU citizens resident in Ireland and Northern Ireland to study on UCD’s World Heritage programme.

The scholarships are allocated as follows:

• Up to two scholarships will be awarded to applicants resident in Ireland and Northern Ireland (EU and Irish citizens) to take the online, part-time MSc in World Heritage Conservation (F091). The scholarship will cover the full cost of university fees.
• One scholarship to an applicant resident in Ireland or Northern Ireland (EU and Irish citizens) to take the on-campus, full-time MSc in World Heritage Management & Conservation (F098). The scholarship will cover the full cost of university fees. Part-time students will also be considered.

The closing date for applications is 30th June 2025.
