Postgraduate Study

Funding Opportunities

This is not a core-funded MPhil programme, and candidates are therefore required to secure their own funding.

Funding options should be discussed on an individual basis with the proposed supervisor in advance of submitting an application.

Applicants are recommended to apply to the University funding scheme by ticking 'Yes - I wish to apply for funding' in the funding section of the Applicant Portal, by the funding deadline. You will then automatically be
considered for any University funding that you are eligible for.

To learn more about how to apply for University funding, please visit this link. The Cambridge funding is very
competitive and we therefore recommend candidates also apply for funding via external fellowships and funding
bodies.
