Churchill College is offering the following studentships, jointly with the Cambridge Trusts, to non-UK students wishing to undertake a course leading to a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge and to be a member of the College, starting in October 2010.

One Pochobradsky studentship in engineering or chemical engineering, with up to full funding, for three years, subject to financial need.

How to apply

All applicants for any of these awards must apply for admission to the University of Cambridge by submitting the Graduate Admission and Scholarship application form (GRADSAF) to the appropriate authority (either the academic department or Board of Graduate Studies as specified on the web) by the relevant deadline.

Non-UK students should tick the box seeking funding from the Cambridge Trusts on the GRADSAF.

UK students should also complete an application form which can be downloaded from the College website http://www.chu.cam.ac.uk/proxyadmissions/advanced_students/ and return it to the Tutor for Advanced Students, Dr Barry Kingston, at Churchill College, Storey's Way, Cambridge CB3 0DS by the end of February 2010.

In making awards, preference will be given to those students who nominate Churchill as their College of first choice. All awards are conditional on the selected students being admitted as registered graduate students by the Board of Graduate Studies with effect from 1 October 2010. All candidates are expected to apply for Research Council awards and any other university scholarships, if eligible.
