Cambridge 2016 Postgraduate Entry

I wasn't expecting anything and out of the blue I just received his email for a conditional offer!! I guess there is some time before I get the official conditional offer and start celebrating.

There is still the issue of funding though. [...] Any suggestions regarding other external scholarships suitable for married students with kids? women?

does anyone know when might the application for the Cambridge Bursary (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/cambridgebursary/) for 2016/17 open?

I *think* bursaries are only for undergraduate students?

So I had my Skype interview yesterday with my prospective supervisor and another faculty member. The professor told me he had another person to interview next week so he would let me know about his decision in a week. I wasn't expecting anything and out of the blue I just received his email for a conditional offer!! I guess there is some time before I get the official conditional offer and start celebrating.

There is still the issue of funding though I was banking on Commonwealth scholarship but I did not get nominated. I have applied for Gates but it is too competitive and I think Cambridge Trust Scholarships do not support dependents. Any suggestions regarding other external scholarships suitable for married students with kids? women?

Applied in September for F&E...still under consideration!

Hello,
This is my first post..
I had an interview earlier this week for a PhD studentship and yesterday was told I didn't make the top 2 places, but was 'close' and that if one of the other students gets alternative funding I could be offered the studentship. I also have another interview at the same department in a few weeks, which has 30 places, so I'm really hoping I can snap up one of those.
I failed a first year chemistry module, and got a D at A-level so I've not done too bad!

Has anyone from the History Faculty who is applying for an MPhil heard back yet? If so, are you an International or UK applicant?

I believe someone just and their interview for an MPhil in World History, so it does seem like the department is in the process of actively contacting/evaluating people.

Good luck on your next interview! What course is it for?

Hi all, just wondering if anybody might be able to help me. My application has been 'under consideration' for the past three months. I receive my first semester module and dissertation grades in the next few days, which will essentially decide whether I will graduate with a first or not. If these are all comfortable firsts, would it be wise to email the department and tell them that I am certainly going to achieve a first class honours degree, or not? The course asks for at least a 2.1, but I know that the vast majority of people will have higher than that.

Hi all,

Apologies if this question has been asked earlier in the forum, but ... I intend to apply for the MPhil in Public Policy. Is there any advantage in applying prior to the 25 February deadline?

It seems, based on this forum, that Cambridge assesses applications and makes offers on a rolling basis.

Thanks.

Why not get one of your referees to do that? It might seem a little more reliable if it came from them.

You should email your potential supervisor at Cambridge with that information immediately. The same happened to me and I told her straight away and she said I'm glad you told me - that's excellent etc. Get that info to them ASAP! Just send a screenshot of grades online if you have evision or scan in an updated transcript!
