Funding Opportunities
ESRC funding for applicants who plan to continue to PhD study. Note that award of an ESRC studentship does not guarantee continuation to the PhD; students still need to submit a fresh application for admission to the PhD.

Dissertation Residential
The £600 additional cost relates to a compulsory Dissertation Residential, away from Cambridge, which will consist of an intense few days of individual and group learning, focused on developing and sharing ideas in a setting where the theories and processes taught during the programme can be seen and experienced in the field.
Dissertation fieldwork away from Cambridge is optional, but where a student selects a dissertation topic that might require such fieldwork for periods of time, and thus incur additional expense, these costs will have to be met externally. This might be through applying for College bursaries, for fieldwork funds from Charitable Trusts or through private sources and/or fund-raising.
