How to apply

There is a central admissions scheme for postgraduate entry into the University of Cambridge and it is not necessary to apply separately to Peterhouse. Applicants specify their choice of college on the University’s application form. If the University decides to offer you a place, this form will then automatically be passed on to Peterhouse.

However, applicants for Peterhouse Postgraduate Studentships must apply for these through the College's online application system, a link to which will be provided on the College's home page by the end of November. You need to make sure that the Faculty to which you apply also considers you for all University studentships for which you are eligible. You will find useful information on the University’s Postgraduate Funding page. Note that your application for a PhD is made to the University and not to Peterhouse. You can make your application for Peterhouse Postgraduate Studentships at the same time as your university application. Full details of the Cambridge application procedures can be found on the University Postgraduate Admissions website.

The Tutor for Postgraduate Admissions is Dr Timothy Dickens.
