Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute Studentships

Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK CI) offers a number of fully-funded postgraduate studentships for PhD study. The studentships are available to fund specific projects offered by supervisors aiming to recruit PhD students.

Applicants hoping to apply for one of our funded studentships should read through the following notes:

• We will be advertising a number of funded PhD projects from 1st October 2023 on our website.
• Funded PhD project information will only be available between 1st October 2023 and 13th November 2023 (the CRUK CI studentship application window).
• To apply for one of our projects, you will need to complete a standard application for the PhD in Medical Science (CRUK CI). There is a button on the course page (‘Apply Now’) that takes you to the application form.
• On the application form, you should indicate your choice of project and supervisor in the Statement of Interest and Supervisor sections, respectively.
• All applicants applying for the PhD in Medical Science (CRUK CI) are eligible to apply for our funded projects, provided they apply within the CRUK CI studentship application window 1st October 2023 to 13th November 2023.

Please note

• Applicants wishing to apply to us for PhD study outside the CRUK CI studentship application window will also need to apply for alternative funding and cannot be considered for CRUK CI studentships.
• From time to time, we will offer a longer application window for advertised CRUK CI studentships. Please check each individual advertisement carefully for closing date details, in addition to checking the information provided in the Postgraduate Funding Search.
