Applications are invited from those science and medical students (in the Schools of Physical and Biological Sciences, Technology, and Clinical Medicine), who will be continuing academic study in Cambridge in October 2005, for bursaries to attend language courses in another country (up to four weeks in duration) in the Long Vacation Term. Information about courses and institutions abroad is available from the Language Centre's advising team.
The bursary will be of the order of £400-£800, according to the nature of the course and the country concerned, contributing towards fees, travel, and subsistence. Applications should outline the reason for the proposed course of study, giving details of the selected institution and course structure to be followed, and a breakdown of fees, travel, and subsistence costs, with documentary evidence where possible of these costs. Contributions towards these costs from other sources, and details of any other applications and of grants already received, should also be stated. The recommendation of a Tutor or Supervisor ONLY will be accepted.
Forms should be submitted (four copies) by 29 April to Mrs Christine Danson, Department Secretary, Language Centre, Downing Place, Cambridge, CB2 3EL.
When notified of awards, recipients of bursaries will be sent a form on which to write a report following completion of the course. A percentage of the bursary will be retained until the report and certificate, to prove attendance, is received by Mrs Danson. This must be received before the end of November 2005, unless otherwise agreed, or the bursary will be repayable in full. A prize of £100 will be awarded for the best report submitted, which will be published on the Language Centre's Web page.
