There are five Research Studentships open to general competition. These are advertised and awarded from time to time as they become vacant. Holders of these Studentships are required to become members of the College. They are:
The Studentship, which is open to graduates of any university in any country, is for research or training in research 'into the causes and cure of tuberculosis, and/or other diseases of an allied character'. The Governing Body intends to interpret these terms in the widest possible sense.
The Studentship may be:
| (i) | a Junior Studentship of value approximately equal to that of an MRC Studentship normally tenable for three years, or |
| (ii) | a Senior Studentship of greater value, tenable for one, two, or three years. |
A Junior Student would be expected to apply for registration with the Board of Graduate Studies for a research degree. A Senior Student should consider such a possibility.
A Senior Research Studentship in Mathematics, the Physical Sciences, or Engineering is offered from time to time. Applicants must be Graduate Students registered for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of Cambridge and in their second year of registration. The holder ordinarily receives no emolument until the end of the third year of research or the expiry of his or her present grant if that should take place earlier. He or she is, however, given high table dining rights in the College, and may receive grants for research expenses. The rate of emolument is equivalent to that of a Research Fellow, and the tenure is such that the holder receives the emolument for not more than three years.
The William Senior Studentships for research in comparative Law or Legal History are offered from time to time. The Studentships are open to graduates in Law or History and election is normally conditional upon the person being accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies as a candidate for a research degree. The Studentships are of sufficient value to cover approved University and College fees and reasonable subsistence, and are tenable for up to three years (subject to satisfactory progress).
The Mallinson Research Studentship in Modern and Medieval Languages is intended to provide funding for up to a maximum of three years at the European Union rate of fees for a student registered for the Ph.D. degree in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages. (Applicants from outside the European Union will be expected to obtain an ORS award, or equivalent funding, to make up the full amount of the University fees at the overseas rate). The studentship will cover University and College fees, and reasonable subsistence.
The Scholarship is open to graduates of any university for research in the early modern period of British or European history. It is tenable for up to three years, and will make a contribution (around £5,000) towards University and College fees and maintenance. Other sources of funding will be needed to meet the full costs of a research course.
