Cambridge University will offer funding for up to 100 EU students (including UK) through this competition.
Three-year Ph.D. studentships and M.Phil. Bursaries are open to UK or EU graduate students who are registered for the Ph.D. degree (or NOTAF, CPGS) or M.Phil. in any branch of study within the University. Applicants must have applied for a Research Council award if they are eligible. Students who are already in the first year of Ph.D. studies by October 2009 are not eligible to apply. The Ph.D. award makes provision for the University Composition and College Fees plus a maintenance stipend (subject to residency criteria). The M.Phil. award covers fees only at the home/eu rate.
Further information and application details are available to download from the Financial Aid section of the Board of Graduate Studies website (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/funding/aid/).
Applications must be approved by the applicant's Department or Faculty, each of which will set its own internal deadline (please contact the Department/Faculty to ascertain what that deadline is); the approved department nomination forms have to arrive at the Board of Graduate Studies by 30 April 2010. Successful candidates will be notified in June 2010.
