Study In UK: University Of Cambridge Launches Fully-Funded PhD Programmes
Any student who will be applying to join a PhD programme in 2025-26 at the University Of Cambridge will be considered for this funding. The first funding will start in October 2025.
Study Abroad: Trinity College and the University of Cambridge have introduced a new fully-funded PhDs worth £48 million. The program is looking for the best candidates from the world who are the brightest minds with the ability to conduct ground-breaking research and create the next generation of pioneering services, technology and treatments.
These PhD awards are going to be highly competitive and looking for students who are likely to be the Nobel Laureates of the future and would be able to contribute £30bn to the UK economy.
Trinity Fellow and Nobel Laureate Dr Venki Ramakrishnan said, "PhD students are the lifeblood of new research, making breakthroughs in all areas of science, and it is very important that we be able to attract the best brains to Cambridge wherever they may be from. The Trinity Cambridge Research Studentships Programme will greatly facilitate that goal."
PhD Funding Programme: More Details
The program is expected to support around 300 fully funded PhD studentships in the next decade which depends on the breakdown between international and domestic students. To address the declining funding opportunities for PhD research in Humanities and Sciences, Trinity Cambridge Research Studentships (TCRS) is created.
Cambridge Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education Professor Bhaskar Vira said, "If the UK is to continue to be world-leading in research, it is important to support the next generation of PhD students. We are grateful for the funding provided to postgraduate research students through the UK government’s investments in science and research, but also aware of worrying pressures on budgets."
"We work closely with many external partners and benefactors who allow us to continue to invest in this future research capacity, for the wider benefit of society. We welcome the generous support of Trinity College for this new scheme, which will ensure more students are able to continue their research careers here in Cambridge and look forward to working with partners who would be interested in collaborating with us on this initiative," added Professor Bhaskar Vira.
Cambridge College System Is Unique
A Nobel Prize winner for Physics in 2019 who is also Trinity Fellow Professor Didier Queloz said, "When I came ten years ago, I was attracted by the diversity of the culture, the Cambridge way of life – in the sense that you interact with a lot of people, you have this mixing of different ideas - the College system is really unique in the world. We should maximize the number of PhD students and the diversity of PhD students."
