International Scholarship for PhD Students

University of Cambridge entry requirements state that applicants should review the entry requirements for their chosen course in the Course Directory before starting an application. The University’s minimum academic requirement is a 2:1 (upper second class) UK Bachelor’s Honours Degree or an international equivalent.

Cambridge states that a pass in a UK Master’s Degree (or equivalent) or a higher degree exceeds the University’s minimum requirement and is accepted. The guidance also notes that many courses require a higher standard, such as a High 2:1, a First, or a UK Master’s degree. Applicants with qualifications outside the UK should check the University’s international qualifications page to ensure requirements are met for their course.

If English is not an applicant’s first language, Cambridge states they may need to demonstrate that they meet the English language requirements for their course. The English language requirements page is referenced for whether a test is needed, when to take the test, and how to submit results. The guidance also includes financial requirements, stating that applicants need to cover costs like course fees and living costs for the duration of the course and only need to confirm this before starting unless the University makes an offer.

Cambridge states that applications are thoroughly checked for fake documents and false information as part of its admissions fraud approach. The Applicant Portal is referenced for creating, managing, and tracking a postgraduate application.
