Masters Prizes

Masters Achievement in Maritime History

The British Commission is delighted to announce the establishment of a new Masters prize. Each year the BCMH will award a number of £100 prizes for excellent postgraduate Masters’ dissertations in the broad field of maritime history. We are very pleased that one of these prizes will be sponsored by The Maritime Information Association

Subjects eligible for consideration reflect the Commission's view of maritime history as a wide-ranging discipline.

Prizes will be given to students whose dissertations were assessed as part of Masters’ degree awards made during the previous calendar year. Nominations must be made by Heads of Department or equivalent, and the closing date for entries is the first Friday of January. Dissertations awarded distinction marks of 70+ are eligible for consideration, but institutions may only submit one dissertation to the competition.

For further information, please contact the Hon Secretary.
