level
level
- Applicants
must be intending to start a course at the level of undergraduate
(excluding UK/EU applicants), Masters (such as MPhil, MASt, LLM), or
research postgraduate (such as PhD). - Please
note that the Trust does not offer many scholarships to students on
undergraduate courses, and has many more scholarship programmes available
to postgraduate students. Approximately 85% of the scholarships
awarded each year are to students taking Masters or PhD degrees. - The
Trust will not normally support students at a degree level that is the
same as, or lower than, a degree they already hold, with two exceptions –
we will consider an application from a student who is required to take a
second Masters degree at Cambridge in order to gain admission to the PhD
here, or from an international (non-EU) student who is proposing to
study as an affiliated student at Cambridge for a second BA degree. - The
Trust does not have scholarships available for post-doctoral positions,
or for visiting or exchange students. - The
Trust does not have scholarships available for part-time postgraduate
degrees, and part-time undergraduate study is not available at the
University of Cambridge. - English
Language Requirements: Applicants from
outside the home country will often need to meet specific English
language/other language requirements in order to be able to study there.
