Students from all over the world dreaming of studying at one of the world’s top universities—this is your chance! The University of Cambridge has announced its Cambridge Masters Studentship 2026, a special funding opportunity for students aiming to pursue a one-year postgraduate program in any subject.
What’s the Benefit?
This studentship provides financial help to cover your cost of study. The typical amount awarded is £12,000. It is first used to reduce your University tuition fee, and if any amount remains, it will be given to you as a living allowance (also called a maintenance stipend). This support makes studying at Cambridge much more affordable.
Who Can Apply?
- Students of any nationality can apply—there’s no restriction based on country or fee status.
- The award is for one-year full-time postgraduate courses.
- You must not already have a Master’s or PhD degree, or be in the process of completing one.
- Courses that are part-time MSt (Master of Studies) are not eligible.
- However, MASt (Master of Advanced Study) programs are eligible for this studentship.
How to Apply?
