John Hall PhD Studentship

The Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge is offering one studentship for a new PhD student commencing either full-time or part-time doctoral research in 2026/27. The studentship is available to home and overseas students, and is renewable for a further 2 years subject to satisfactory academic progress. Preference will be given to prospective PhD students intending to undertake research in any area of family law. The value of a studentship will be £15,000 per annum (adjusted on a pro-rata basis for part-time students) and may be used by the student to contribute towards the University Composition Fee or to contribute towards living costs. The award is based on both financial need and academic merit. Candidates wishing to be considered for this studentship should have applied for admission to the PhD at the Faculty of Law by the course closing date of 2 December 2025 and should, in addition, return a completed studentship application form by the studentship application closing date of 31 January 2026.
