RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS

The Governing Body of Peterhouse offers annually a number of Research Studentships, open to men or women who will not normally have been undergraduate members of the College; if candidates of sufficient merit present themselves, elections into not more than three Studentships may take place in July 1998.

Candidates should be under twenty-five years of age on 1 December 1998. Prospective candidates over this age limit should write to the Senior Tutor explaining why they believe that their candidature should be considered; in certain circumstances (e.g. where an applicant's academic career has been unavoidably interrupted) allowances may be made. Candidates must be graduates of a University in the United Kingdom or elsewhere; if not graduates they should have graduated by August 1998. They must intend to be candidates for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of Cambridge. Tenure of a Studentship is subject to the condition that the elected Student be accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies. Application to the Board is made through the Cambridge Intercollegiate Graduate Application Scheme (C.I.G.A.S.).

Application forms for Studentships may be obtained from the Senior Tutor, Peterhouse, Cambridge, CB2 1RD, England. Studentship applications, together with a curriculum vitae, must reach the Senior Tutor not later than 1 April 1998. C.I.G.A.S. application forms, together with the Graduate Studies Prospectus, may be obtained from the Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ, England.

In awarding Studentships, first consideration will be given to candidates who nominate Peterhouse as their College of first preference in C.I.G.A.S. Form A. Studentships may only be held at Peterhouse.

Studentships will only be awarded to candidates subject to their obtaining satisfactory results in their final degree examinations.

An elected Student will be required to come into residence in October 1998. The Studentships are subject to reviews of diligence and progress and are renewable annually for up to a maximum of three years' total tenure.

The value of a Studentship will be determined after considering a successful candidate's income from other Studentships or similar sources. In the academical year 1996-97 a Student without other emoluments of this kind received £5,190 a year, together with direct payment of certain approved fees by the College on the Student's behalf. The Studentship is thus generally sufficient to cover all fees and basic living expenses.

This award is only tenable at Peterhouse

FRIENDS OF PETERHOUSE BURSARY-BURSARY FOR OVERSEAS AFFILIATED STUDENTS AND FOR OVERSEAS GRADUATE STUDENTS

Each year Peterhouse offers a Bursary to a well-qualified graduate student from overseas who is not already a resident member of the College and who wishes to read for an undergraduate degree as an affiliated student or to pursue a one- or two-year taught course as a registered graduate student. The Bursary, established by the generosity of the Friends of Peterhouse, is intended to assist towards the cost of study at Cambridge, is subject to reviews of diligence and progress, and, if awarded for a course of more than one year's duration, is renewable once only to make a maximum tenure of two years. The value of the Bursary is limited to the payment of University fees in Arts or Science subjects (but not Clinical Medicine). These figures for the academical year 1997-98 will be £6,036 (Arts), £8,2262 (Sciences).

Candidates should be under twenty-five years of age on 1 December 1998. Prospective candidates over this age limit should write to the Senior Tutor explaining why they believe that their candidature should be considered; in certain circumstances (e.g. where an applicant's academic career has been unavoidably interrupted) allowances may be made. Candidates must be graduates of a University in the United Kingdom or elsewhere; if not graduates they should have graduated by August 1998. They must intend to be candidates for a degree in the University of Cambridge. Tenure of the Bursary is subject to the condition that the elected student be admitted for a place, if an Affiliated Student, at Peterhouse; if intending to read for a graduate degree, by Peterhouse and by the Board of Graduate Studies of the University of Cambridge. Application to the Board is made through the Cambridge Intercollegiate Graduate Application Scheme (C.I.G.A.S.) on C.I.G.A.S. Form (A).

C.I.G.A.S. application forms, together with the Graduate Studies Prospectus, may be obtained from the Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ, England. Prospective affiliated students should ask the College for a C.I.G.A.S. Form (C).

In awarding the Bursary, first consideration will be given to candidates who nominate Peterhouse as their College of first preference in their C.I.G.A.S. applications. The Bursary may only be held at Peterhouse. Subject to age, all affiliated students and all graduate students (except those intending to study Clinical Medicine) are eligible provided that normally, in both classes, they are liable for University fees at the overseas rate.

Application forms may be obtained from the Senior Tutor, Peterhouse, Cambridge, CB2 1RD, England, to whom completed applications, together with a curriculum vitae, should be returned by 1 April 1998. (Those wishing to be affiliated students are reminded that applications for places at all Colleges in the University of Cambridge for affiliated students close on 15 October 1997. The Peterhouse Bursaries are decided after 1 April 1998.)

This award is only tenable at Peterhouse.
