The Council of Sidney Sussex College offers annually, for men and women, a number of Evan Lewis-Thomas Law Studentships for research or advanced courses in Law or cognate subjects in the University of Cambridge. If candidates of sufficient merit present themselves, elections will next be made in May 2005. Under the terms of the will of the late Judge Evan Lewis-Thomas, candidates must have shown proficiency in Law and Jurisprudence, usually, but not necessarily, by obtaining a university degree in Law by August 2005. Normally, they must be or become candidates for the Ph.D. Degree, the Diploma in Legal Studies, the Diploma in International Law, the M.Phil. Degree (one-year course) in Criminology, or the LL.M. Degree. Candidates for the Ph.D. Degree who apply for these Studentships may also apply for the Research Studentship offered by the College.
These Studentships, which are subject to reviews of diligence and progress, are tenable for one year in the first instance but may be renewed annually up to a maximum of three years. Their value will depend on the candidate's needs in the light of support from other sources and on the availability of income from the Evan Lewis-Thomas Fund. All holders of Studentships will receive at least £1,000 per annum, but Studentships of larger value, up to full support of fees (at the 'Home' rate) and maintenance, may be awarded.
Election to a Studentship may be made conditional upon satisfactory results in degree examinations and is in all cases conditional upon the person elected being accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies if he/she is a candidate for the Ph.D. Degree, the M.Phil. Degree or a Diploma, or by the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Law if he/she is a candidate for the LL.M. Degree. Application for acceptance by the Board or the Degree Committee is made through the Board under the Cambridge Intercollegiate Graduate Application Scheme 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1RZ, UK. Preference will be given to candidates who will be under twenty-six years of age on 1 October 2004, though special circumstances (e.g. military service) can be taken into account.
The Council of Sidney Sussex College is offering a Research Studentship commencing in October 2005. The holder of the Studentship must be, or seek to be, a candidate for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of Cambridge. The Studentship is tenable by a Student whose research lies within Medieval Art, Architectural or Cultural History, with a preference for the early medieval period and particularly Romanesque Art History. It is a condition of appointment that the holder of the Studentship shall agree to send to the endower of the Studentship, Mr John Osborn, a bound copy of her/his thesis once completed.
The holder of the Studentship must have graduated by August 2005, and election to the Studentship will usually be made conditional upon good results in degree examinations. The Studentship is intended for candidates who have already been awarded, or are likely to graduate with, First Class Honours or the equivalent. Election is in all cases conditional upon the person elected being accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies of the University. Application for acceptance by the Board is made through the Cambridge Intercollegiate Graduate Application Scheme, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1RZ, England. Preference will be given to candidates who will be under twenty-six years of age on 1 October 2005, though special circumstances will be taken into account.
The Studentship is subject to reviews of diligence and progress, and is renewable annually up to a maximum of three years. Subject to financial need, the Studentship will meet the cost of University and College fees and a level of maintenance grant to be determined after considering the successful candidate's income from other sources. The holder of the Studentship will receive at least £1,000 per annum, and a Student without income from other sources would receive £7,500 per annum, subject to annual review. In addition, the Student may apply for support of up to a maximum of £1,050 over the course of the Ph.D programme.
An elected Student will normally be required to come into residence as a member of the College in October 2004. A room in College or in one of the College's hostels will be provided for a single person in the first year only of study. A College flat may be available for a married person
