Gonville & Caius Phyllis Barclay-Smith Studentship

The Gonville & Caius Phyllis Barclay-Smith Studentship supports one international PhD student with a preference for candidates from Malawi or the sub-Saharan African continent. If no suitable candidate can be identified, the College will use the Studentship to fund an international student in any PhD program. The Studentship is for 3 years and is subject to satisfactory progress in the first year. It covers full overseas fees and maintenance, with the final value determined after consideration of the successful candidate's income from other sources. Candidates are expected to be of outstanding academic ability. Tenure of the Studentship is conditional upon the elected student being accepted for admission to the University by the Postgraduate Admissions Office. Preference is given to those who put Caius as their first-preference college, and candidates must be willing to transfer college if Caius is not already their first-preference college. The award of a studentship may be conditional upon the candidate obtaining satisfactory results in their final degree examinations. Students are encouraged to apply for other studentships or research awards for which they may be eligible.
