Cambridge Graduate Course in Medicine Bursary

As part of the Cambridge Bursary Scheme the University is able to provide a bursary for first-year students on the Cambridge Graduate Course in Medicine (UCAS code A101) to help with the cost of their tuition fees. In 2012-13 the standard bursary award will be £3,500.

Undergraduates and clinical students on the standard Medicine course (UCAS code A100) may instead be eligible for the Cambridge Bursary and should see the Cambridge Bursary Scheme for more details.

I am a UK student, am I eligible?

To be eligible for this bursary, there are a number of requirements that must be met. If you can answer yes to the following questions, it is likely that you will be eligible for a bursary.

• Are you starting the first year of the Cambridge Graduate course in Medicine (A101)?
• Will you be a student at Hughes Hall, Lucy Cavendish College or Wolfson College?
• Have you been assessed by a Student Finance Agency and as a result are you in receipt of a non-means tested maintenance loan (£3,564 in 2011-12) and an additional means-tested loan?

I am an EU student, am I eligible?

If you are from the EU, there are a number of eligibility requirements which you must meet.

• Are you starting the first year of the Cambridge Graduate course in Medicine (A101)?
• Will you be a student at Hughes Hall, Lucy Cavendish College or Wolfson College?
• Can you demonstrate that your household income for the calendar year 2011 was below £42,600 sterling or equivalent?

‘Household income’ is a government term. To simplify, it will usually be what your household (your main residence) is paid every year before tax, but certain sums may be subtracted, such as pension payments. Normally this will mean income received by your parent(s) or guardian(s).

If you are married, evidence of your spouse’s income will be required. If you are aged 25 or over, the only income that you need to show is any rental income of your own.
