Peterhouse Cambridge Graduate International Studentships Competition Eligibility
To be eligible for a Peterhouse studentship:
- Applicants must be accepted as postgraduate students by the University of Cambridge.
- Applicants must ensure that the Department or Faculty to which they apply also considers them for all University studentships for which they are eligible.
- Ph.D. students who have already started their doctoral studies are eligible only if they are already members of Peterhouse.
Note that your application for a PhD is made to the University and not to Peterhouse. You can make your application for Peterhouse Graduate Studentships competition at the same time as your university application.
Successful applicants must study at Peterhouse. PhD students who have already started their doctoral studies are eligible only if they are already members of Peterhouse.
Peterhouse Graduate Studentships Competition Value
The value of each Peterhouse postgraduate Studentship will depend on whether students are in receipt of other grants. If a successful applicant has no funding from other sources, then their studentship will cover University and College fees plus maintenance at the same level as the Arts and Humanities Research Council awards (currently £15609 per year for doctoral students). This is what is meant by ‘full funding.
Successful applicants who have grants from other sources will receive some proportion of full funding. Students who already have full funding are not eligible to apply for a Peterhouse Cambridge Graduate International Studentship competition.
