Studentship Funding Details and Eligibility Criteria

The majority of successful applicants must be eligible for funding according to EPSRC’s criteria but a number of places are also available to those who fall outside this category. Stipends will be paid at the EPSRC rate, which is currently in the range £18,622 – £22,401 p.a. The stipend usually increases annually and is not subject to UK income tax or national insurance.

The studentships will also cover university fees for the duration of the 4-year programme and includes a Research Training and Support Grant (RTSG) that can be used for other training costs, such as attending a conference. Further information on fees for this programme can be found here.

Applicants eligible for Home Fees

(incl. UK and Irish nationals, and those with settled or pre-settled status)

Fully funded studentships (covering fees, maintenance and RTSG) are available to all applicants who are accepted to the MRes+PhD programme. We apply the same eligibility, based on residency, as set out by UKRI. There are a number of requirements which must be met in order to be eligible for Home fees. Further guidance can be found on the following websites:

How to Apply

Applications for this programme should be made on the standard postgraduate admissions form to the University of Cambridge, stating course code EGEGR8 (EPSRC CDT MRes + PhD Future Propulsion and Power). Please note if Oxford is your first choice for PhD institution you will also need to get accepted by Oxford for the DPhil. Therefore completion of an Oxford application form as well as the Cambridge application form is required.

Further details about the application procedure for the DPhil at Oxford can be found here. Oxford University have an Application fee waiver scheme for candidates that have completed two application forms in the same admissions cycle. This ensures that applicants only pay for one application fee.

The MRes in Future Propulsion and Power is only available as part of the CDT in Future Propulsion and Power.

On successful completion of the MRes, students will begin the PhD phase of the CDT.

In the Research Proposal section of the application, there is no mandatory requirement to prepare a research proposal, however please make sure you describe your interests and any specific areas you may wish to work in

You do not have to put a supervisor for the PhD phase on your application, therefore you do not need to find a potential supervisor before applying. Please also clearly state an order of preference for the university at which you would like to study for the PhD phase of the CDT.
