You cannot apply to transfer to Cambridge from a postgraduate course at another institution. Cambridge does not have a credit-based course system, so it is not possible to transfer credits from another institution.
If you want to study at Cambridge, you must submit an application for the course you want to study.
Transferring with a supervisor
Some applicants can apply to move their doctoral studies to Cambridge because their supervisor has taken up a post at Cambridge.
To do this, you would need to submit an application for the relevant doctoral course at Cambridge.
If you then receive a formal offer of admission from the University, you may be able to apply for exemption from the University fee payment for up to 3 full-time terms or 5 part-time terms.
Continuing research at Cambridge
If you've carried out research towards a doctorate at another university and you want to continue the same topic at Cambridge, you must:
- Be prepared to let your research be guided by your Cambridge supervisor
- Observe the academic conventions of your new department or faculty
- Declare that the work has not, and will not, be submitted for any qualification at your other university
You should not expect to receive resources to follow any line of study you wish unless this has been agreed with your department beforehand.
