The Law Faculty of the University of Cambridge is offering up to 3 studentships for new PhD students commencing doctoral research in 2014/15. The value of a Scholarship will be up to £20,000
each year for three years. They are available for Home UK/EU and
Overseas students undertaking full time research towards a PhD in
private law, corporate law or tax law, with annual renewal subject to
satisfactory academic performance. Studentships will be awarded on the
basis of academic merit and research potential.
The studentships include a requirement that scholars contribute to
the Law Faculty as part of their research training, in the form of
providing up to 10 hours a week of teaching (in term time) on the LLM in
private law papers (International Commercial Litigation, Law of
Restitution, Commercial Equity), corporate law papers (Corporate
Finance, Corporate Governance, Corporate Insolvency), or tax law papers
(International Commercial Taxation).
There is no separate application form for a studentship. The
selection of students for these awards will be based on the PhD
application to the Faculty.
To be considered for a studentship, applicants must submit a Graduate
Application Form [GRADSAF] for admission to the PhD in Law by not later
than 15 January 2014. After submitting the application form, applicants
have a further 14 days to upload the required supporting documentation
(such as transcripts, references, and a detailed research proposal).
Applicants should indicate in their research proposal that they wish to
be considered for a Law Faculty studentship.
