ADMISSION AND TICKETS

Admission to this occasion will be by ticket only.

All members and staff (including retired staff) of the University and the Colleges are eligible to apply for tickets to attend the Congregation and Reception. In order to allow the greatest possible attendance by such applicants, requests for additional guest tickets will not be accepted.

Applications should preferably be made online at: http://cam.ac.uk/HD17Reporter

Those who prefer may apply on paper or by email, stating a postal address and their qualifying University and/or College affiliation. Postal applications should be sent to Honorary Degrees, The Vice-Chancellor’s Office, The Old Schools, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1TN or emailed to HonDegsRSVP@admin.cam.ac.uk (which can also be used for queries relating to the Congregation).

The deadline for applications is Friday, 19 May 2017. If demand for places exceeds capacity all applications received by that date will be balloted. Successful applicants should expect to receive their ticket in late May or early June and further details about the day will be included on the tickets.

Applicants who discover at any stage that they can no longer attend are asked to inform the Vice-Chancellor’s Office promptly so that their application can be deleted and the place offered to others. Tickets already sent should be destroyed as they are not transferable.

TIMETABLE

Ticket-holders who are not processing will need to be in their seats in the Senate-House not later than 2.30 p.m. The Congregation is expected to end at about 3.35 p.m.

RECEPTION

There will be a Reception on the lawn in Senate-House Yard after the Congregation for all those attending. Refreshments will be served and there will be a marquee to provide cover.

ACADEMICAL DRESS

Members of the University attending are reminded that they are required by regulations in Ordinances to wear academical dress (although by custom others present do not).

The day of the Congregation will be a 'scarlet day', so Doctors should wear their festal gowns. Graduates are requested to wear hoods. In accordance with the regulations and with the exception of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, High Steward, Deputy High Steward, Commissary, Proctors, Registrary, Esquire Bedells, Orator, and Honorary Graduands, members of the University holding non-Cambridge degrees may wear the dress appropriate to those degrees if they wish.

Only holders of Cambridge Professorial Chairs or Cambridge Higher Doctorates, i.e. D.D., LL.D., M.D. (if conferred before 2014), Med.Sc.D., Sc.D., Litt.D., or Mus.D. are eligible to process as Professors or Doctors. Processional tickets will only be issued up to the maximum allowed by the seating for the procession, so a processional ticket cannot be guaranteed.

University Composition Fees

26 April 2017

In the following Notice the Council proposes amendments to the fees for certain categories of students.

The Council has noted that assurances have been provided by the government about EU students commencing in 2017 and, on 21 April 2017, in respect of students starting in 2018, but the position of those starting in 2019 and later remains uncertain. Without in any way altering the fee status of students currently on courses or the fee status of new students as prescribed by the government, references to ‘EU’ have been removed in these tables so that nothing to the contrary can be implied for students considering admission in later years.

There are two rates of fee: ‘Home’ (instead of 'Home/EU') and 'Overseas/International' ('Overseas' has been retitled 'Overseas/International'). EU students may be classified now and in the future as paying either one or the other according to the rules in force at the time.

Home rate of fees for M.A.St. students in 2018–19

The Council proposes that the Home rates of fee payable for the M.A.St. Degree increase by 3% over the 2017–18 rates and the fees be as set out in Table 1 of the Schedule to this Notice.

Fees for postgraduate students in 2018–19

The Council proposes general increases of 3% on the Home rates of fee payable for postgraduate courses and 5% on the Overseas/International rates. The fees set out in Table 2 and Table 3 in the Schedule reflect these increases and also include any differentials proposed by Schools in this Planning Round.

For new entrants the fees for the Ph.D., Eng.D., M.Sc., and M.Litt. Degrees are fixed at the same cash value for the three years of the course. The increases therefore only apply to new entrants in 2018. Postgraduate fees were consolidated with the College Graduate Fee in 2015.

Home fees for the P.G.C.E. and for the examination in Architecture and Urban Design for the M.Phil. Degree are at the Regulated undergraduate rate and will be included in a further Notice when those rates for 2018 are announced.

Fees for ELQ students in 2018–19

The Council proposes that the fees for Home ELQ students (those studying an equivalent or lower qualification to one already obtained) increase by 3% over the 2017–18 rates. The fees are set out in Table 4 of the Schedule to this Notice.

The Home ELQ fees for the B.A. Degree in Architecture and B.A. Degree in Medical and Veterinary Science are at the Regulated undergraduate rate and will be included in a further Notice when those rates for 2018 are announced.

The Council is accordingly submitting a Grace to the Regent House (Grace 2, p. 482) for the approval of the fees set out in the Schedule attached to this Notice.

Proposed Tables of Fees

Footnotes

[1] Island students who commenced in or after 2013–14 pay the Overseas/International rate of fee. 
[2] The fees are the annual fee. 
[3] The fees in this table for one year full time courses are the fees for the course for part-time students studying for the same qualification. The fee payable in each of two part-time years is half the full time fee chargeable in the year of entry. 
[4] The annual fee is payable over five years. Any outstanding balance is payable before submission of the dissertation. 
[5] For students commencing in 2015–16 and later years the fee will be fixed for the duration of their course (i.e. fees in each year of their course will be the same as the fee in their year of entry).  
[6] Island students commencing in 2013–14 and later years pay the Overseas/International rate of fee. 
[7] For part-time students who commenced before 2015 the fee payable is 60% of the full time rate applicable to the year they commenced; for part-time students who commence in and after 2015 the fee payable is 60% of the full time fee charged in their year of entry. 
[8] Please note that Architecture and Geography appear in both Groups 1 and 2. 
[9] Students who have proceeded to the B.A. Degree but have been given leave to read for another Tripos 'not for honours' are deemed to be ELQ students for the purpose of their fee liability.  
[10] There will be separate Triposes for Medical Sciences and for Veterinary Sciences from 1 October 2018. The fees will remain the same for both Triposes. 
[11] The Year abroad fee applies to students undertaking a full-year course of study abroad or working away (see Regulation 6 for the Law Tripos, Regulation 23 for the Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Tripos, Regulation 28 for the Modern and Medieval Languages Tripos, Regulation 23 for the Engineering Tripos). Home undergraduate students on a year abroad under the Erasmus Scheme admitted in and after 2012 and paying the Regulated rate of fee are liable for 15% tuition fee; all other undergraduate students pay 50% of the fee during their year abroad. Students on postgraduate courses are liable to the full fee.
