About

The Ramanujan Research Studentship in Mathematics is intended to support an outstanding candidate from India who wishes to undertake a PhD in the broad fields of Pure or Applied Mathematics at the University of Cambridge but who is required by the Faculty of Mathematics to take, in the first instance, the course leading to the Master of Advanced Study (MASt) in Mathematics.

The Ramanujan Research Studentship in Mathematics commemorates the connection between the renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan and Trinity College.

The Ramanujan Studentship is normally awarded for nine months, while the student takes the course leading to the MASt in Mathematics. Subject to completion of the MASt with a Distinction and registration for the PhD degree, the Studentship will then be renewed for up to three and a half further years, subject to satisfactory progress. Exceptionally, a Ramanujan Studentship may be awarded for three and a half years of research leading to the PhD degree without the requirement to study for the MASt.
