Postgraduate Study

Funding Opportunities

The Department does not usually offer funding for MPhil research students. On occasion, a Departmental studentship may be available. These opportunities will be advertised on the Postgraduate Funding Search and on the Cambridge University Jobs site. As such studentships are rarely available, most students are funded via another source, and we recommend exploring all possible funding opportunities. If you wish to be considered for funding from the central University and other sources, please visit the page below on the Postgraduate Admissions website to learn about the relevant funding deadlines.
