Funding Opportunities
Postgraduate Students require funding in order to be able to follow their chosen course. There is a range of funding opportunities available in the University, with information available on the Postgraduate Admissions webpages. Please review the University Funding Database to identify the sources you might be eligible for. For a small number of funding sources a separate application may also be required.
All applicants who are offered a place will be considered for University funding, provided you tick the relevant boxes when making your application.
The Gates Scholarships can be applied for within your main University application, but does require an additional personal statement and an additional reference. Please bear these requirements in mind and plan accordingly.
Cavendish Laboratory Scholarships: These scholarships, such as the P C Ho PhD Studentships, are funded by our benefactors. These are our most prestigious and are awarded to the most outstanding students in the field of applications. Separate applications for these funds are not required. Candidates will be selected from all of the applications received via the postgraduate admissions process.
Fees and Finance requirements
The University requires evidence of adequate financial support for the entire period of the course before admission can be confirmed. Students can supplement their financial support by teaching in the Colleges or in Department practical or examples classes, but the amount that can be earned is not sufficient for full support and cannot be used to satisfy the University's financial condition.
More information on finance is available on the Postgraduate Admissions pages here.
