Japan and the World Graduate Scholarships

The Cambridge Japan and the World Graduate Scholarships were created in 2016 to support talented scholars wanting to pursue a graduate degree in Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge. Awards are made for one year for MPhil students, or three years for PhD students. The scholarships support students in Japanese Studies admitted to postgraduate programmes, with preference given to those whose research aims to place Japan within the larger context of the world, either in a multilateral focus or through its disciplinary impact. The award covers fees for both home and international students as well as maintenance costs. Approximately 3 awards are available annually, with announcements typically made in March, though additional studentships may become available until July.
