Funding Opportunities

In the Postgraduate School of Life Sciences (PSLS), a high proportion of our postgraduate students have obtained a full or partial studentship. Around 400 (30%) of our current UK postgraduate students are funded by the UK Research Councils (BBSRC, MRC, NERC). Many others receive funding from major medical research charities such as the Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK. Nearly 20% of our students receive funding from the University itself and almost 25% of our overseas students have been successful in obtaining full or partial studentships from the Cambridge Trust.
The majority of postgraduate funding opportunities are listed in the Postgraduate Funding Search.

Application fee waiver
There is an application fee for some postgraduate courses. Not all applicants have to pay this fee. If you are eligible, your fee will be automatically waived or you will need to submit a fee waiver request (if you're a UK student or refugee).
