Trinity Pre-Research Studentship for Language Study

The Trinity Pre-Research Studentship for Language Study is intended for the holders of Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) or British Academy Postgraduate Studentships or similar awards who wish to study a rare language for a specific research project, during their first or second postgraduate year, in preparation for a subsequent period of research for the PhD degree. The emoluments of the Pre-Research Studentship for Language Study are either paid in the first year (if the doctoral studentship can be postponed) or alternatively held in abeyance until the final year of study for the PhD degree. This studentship is available only to those whose projected subject of research requires a knowledge of a particularly rare language for a specific research project. The award includes maintenance funding and a discretionary tuition cost grant to study a rare language in relationship to the doctoral research project. Recipients must be accepted by Trinity College at the University of Cambridge and secure an AHRC or similar award for doctoral study.
