Jebb Studentship

Jebb Studentships are offered annually by the University of Cambridge for advanced study in European literature. Three studentships are available: one for the study of literature written in a European language from the foundation of Constantinople to the birth of Dante, one for literature from the birth of Dante onwards, and one for literature of any period. The Electors interpret the term literature broadly to include visual culture and other related forms. The studentship provides maintenance funding of £10,390 annually for three years (fixed length) for PhD students studying full-time or part-time. Candidates must be postgraduates of Cambridge University by the time they take up the studentship. Awards are granted on the basis of academic merit, and successful students are required to submit annual progress reports to renew their award for the next academic year. The studentships support advanced research in European literature across various periods and languages, allowing for interdisciplinary approaches that encompass visual culture and related fields within the humanities.
