Funding

The department offers funding to support undergraduate and postgraduate students in the disciplines of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology at the University of Liverpool.

Peet Travel Award (Summer 2025)

The Peet Travel Award is available to support travel and associated costs for research into the archaeology and languages of the pre-Classical Mediterranean, including Egypt and the Near East, Greece and the Italian Peninsula.

Travel should be to the Mediterranean or other locations (such as Museums and Universities) where relevant material or archives are housed. Travel can also involve participation in an archaeological project, relevant summer school or similar activity. Please note that the range of awards is normally between £200-500.

The scheme is open to any postgraduate researchers and master's candidates undertaking research in a relevant area. Postgraduate researchers who have been awarded funding from the Peet Travel Award for two consecutive years in the past are not eligible to apply.

The award is for up to two students covering costs of up to £700 each.
