The Official Cambridge 2017 Mphil Application Thread

Hello all prospective Cambridge 2017 Mphil applicants. Congrats on your wise decision to study at one of the World's best Institutions. You've indeed made a bold move.

The next application cycle begins early September which is barely 2 months away. It's a wise decision to start getting our application materials together. In addition to undergraduate transcripts, personal statements and recommendation letters, some of the Mphil courses require CVs, research proposals and writing samples. For non-native English speakers, IELTS or TOEFL is required.

We could start making arrangements to obtain our transcripts and reference letters from our professors. We could also start now to build our personal statements and academic CVs. For those who would be needing writing samples, research proposals and language tests, it's time to start preparing.

Getting into Cambridge for a postgraduate programme can be quite competitive. However our manner of approach towards the application procedure could just guarantee us a spot on our choice course.

I'll keep updating this thread and providing detailed explanations about the stages in the application process, funding opportunities & timelines, minimum admission requirements, College picks, etc. Please feel free to leave your comments and questions.

Hi, this forum is mostly used by prospective Cambridge undergrads rather than postgrads.

There is a separate TSR forum (here) for all postgrads and someone has started a thread for Cambridge 2017. Maybe you could join that one :smile:

CAMBRIDGE 2017 Postgraduate Entry

You also don't need to create multiple threads on the same topic so I will delete the duplicates.

Hi Jneill. Thanks I didn't realize I created multiple threads. I'm not really forum savvy. I'm now following the 2017 thread. You may now delete this one

Hi Jneill. Thanks I didn't realize I created multiple threads. However, the link you referred me to is for the 2016 entry postgrads. I don't get why this thread would be used prospective undergrads either.

? no it isn't. It links to the 2017 PG thread. (Only 1 post in it though, so far)

Alternatively follow my first link to the PG forum and create a new thread there.
