Graduate Admissions

"an exceptionally warm and intimate community"

At Fitzwilliam College, you will be part of an international graduate community representing over 50 countries. You will find a friendly and modern college which is part of a historic University. You will find opportunities to work alongside students from the entire range of academic disciplines, and engage in truly interdisciplinary conversations that are at the heart of collegiate Cambridge. There are social events, classical music concerts, sport and much more, or maybe you will just want to relax over the newspapers in our MCR, an elegant room in the centre of the College grounds.  Some of our students have written about their experiences as graduates.

Admissions Policy

Fitzwilliam admits students for all graduate courses.* There are no formal quotas for individual subjects and numbers are limited only by our ability to provide appropriate support, facilities and accommodation.

* The Cambridge Graduate Course in Medicine is not available at Fitzwilliam.

Accommodation

You can live in single-room College accommodation throughout the time of your course. In your first year, we will allocate you a room just before you arrive. For further years, you can choose a room in the ballot.  There is also double and family accommodation but the choice is more limited.

Scholarships and funding

Fitzwilliam College has one fully-funded studentship for a one-year taught graduate course.

PhD students can apply for other College Scholarships and each year our highest performing research students are awarded  College Senior Scholarships worth £300, giving assistance towards research and travel costs.

The College also offers funds to assist attendance at conferences, to support research away from Cambridge and for extra curricular activities.
