To carry out a PhD, you must obtain financial support to cover both the University Composition Fee and a maintenance stipend for the duration of your studentship. Details of these fees are available on the Cambridge University website, including funding deadlines.

The University of Cambridge Postgraduate Admissions Office has further information to help applicants determine their fee status on the web page ‘What is my Fee Status?’.

There are many other funding opportunities at Cambridge from a wide variety of sources including the Cambridge Trust, Gates Cambridge, Colleges, Departments, Research Councils and central University funds. Note that these will have differing deadlines for applications. See also www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/finance/funding

We also welcome students who are funded through Public Health England and the School for Public Health Research. Such opportunities will be featured on our news website.

We very much welcome expressions of interest from prospective candidates and we will support selected candidates to apply to external funding sources.
