MPhil Engineering for Sustainable Development ESD at Cambridge University 2025

Hi everyone,
I created this thread for anyone applying to the MPhil in Engineering for Sustainable Development (ESD) at the University of Cambridge for 2025 entry.
I submitted my application around the 2nd week of March, and I’m still waiting to hear back. I know decisions can take up to 8-12 weeks, but I’m curious, has anyone heard anything yet? Interview invites? Offers? Rejections?
Let’s use this space to:
• Share application timelines and updates on our application status.
• Talk about interview experiences (if any).
• Discuss our backgrounds
and goals.
• Support each other during the wait!
Looking forward to connecting!

Hi! I applied mid Jan, got called for an interview mid March (with only 3 days notice!) and got an offer 4 days after that. So it takes a while to get an interview but then all quite quick.
Good luck!

Hello!!
I received the confirmation last week.
Applied in November, interview in December, 2 weeks after that I received the conditional offer, end of march I received a full ride scholarship 🎉and now in the end of April I received the confirmation letter at Jesus College.
I'm waiting for the CAS to apply for the visa.
I have 2 years of strategy consulting experience (McKinsey) with focus in Renewable Energy and ESG and 1.5 year of experience in strategy management for an electric air mobility company.

Hey Everyone,
I think it would be good to create a group with everyone that is starting this October.
