About this opportunity
The Department of Computer Science and Technology makes a number of bursaries available to outstanding home students who are applying for admission to the MPhil in Advanced Computer Science. The bursary provides financial support ranging from £5,000 to £10,000 annually towards tuition fees for UK-domiciled students eligible for home rate fees. Applicants are expected to meet the minimum entry requirements for the course: first-class honours degree in computer science, or alternatively, a degree of equal status in engineering, science, or mathematics where the applicant can demonstrate significant relevant preparation for the Cambridge MPhil course. The Department encourages groups currently underrepresented in Engineering and Physical Science subjects, including women, Black British, British Bangladeshi and British Pakistani applicants, people from low-income backgrounds, mature students, care-experienced students, and students from families where no parent or care-giver went to university. There is an expectation that students who are awarded an ACS MPhil Bursary intend to continue to a research degree upon completion of the course. Awardees will be expected to submit their applications for admission to the PhD in Computer Science by the December funding deadline.
