The Taiwan Studies Dissertation Award (TSDA) is set up and managed by the School of Languages and Area Studies of the University of Portsmouth. Funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the TSDA is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students in the UK who submit their dissertations during the academic year of 2016-17. Students in the disciplines of Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences whose dissertations are focused on, related to, or comparing Taiwan with other case studies are eligible to participate in the competition for TSDA.
To encourage the development of Taiwan Studies across disciplines in the UK, TSDA will issue two undergraduate awards and two postgraduate awards. Each will be presented with an official certificate and a modest monetary prize. All submissions will be blind reviewed independently by respected scholars in the field of Taiwan Studies. The primary criterion for assessment is the intellectual rigour of the dissertation. The deadline for submission is 30th June 2017.
There are two channels for submission:
(1) If you are a supervisor and would like to nominate a dissertation under your supervision, please send a copy of the dissertation with a recommendation letter to [log in to unmask]; and
