Funding Opportunities
Studentships offered by AHRC, ESRC, and NERC, as well as other funding opportunities, may be available. Details, eligibility criteria and application deadlines can be found here. If a candidate wishes to be considered for a Research Council studentship, they should indicate this on their application form.
Eligible applications received by the Cambridge NERC DTP application deadline will be considered for NERC-funded studentships. A full studentship will cover the cost of fees at the home rate and a maintenance allowance. Students with overseas-fee status will need to secure additional funds to provide the fee difference. For this reason, applicants seeking NERC funding are strongly advised to submit their application by the department's December funding competition deadline to be considered for all eligible sources of funding.
