Cambridge MPhil Education Applicants 2025

Wanted to create a thread for fellow MPhil applicants to discuss our progress!

I’ve applied for the Psychology and Education branch. I was moved to decision pending this week without an interview, hopefully this is a step in the right direction but I’m not sure if having an interview is normal so not celebrating just yet!

Submitted: 2nd December
Under review: 4th December
Decision Pending: 21st January

Good luck everyone! 🤞

Nope nothing yet, apparently we could still be offered funding through to June so I’m not holding out much hope on hearing anything soon, but fingers crossed!

I'm trying to send you a private message here, but strangely I am unable to.
Could you try from your end see if you are able to send me a private chat?

Yeah I don’t think I’m able to either, maybe because we were anonymous? Perhaps try again now

I am a Canadian-based applicant who applied by the December 3rd deadline, and my status is still "Submitted". Do any of you have the same status? Also, do international applicants receive admission offers later than UK-based applicants?

Thank you :smile:
