Programs of Study

Course	Description
Archaeology	MPhil in Archaeological Research (Only eligible for a scientific research project.)
Biological Anthropological Science	MPhil in Biological Anthropological Science
Astronomy	MPhil in Astronomy
Biological Sciences	The Departments listed below offer the MPhil in Biological Sciences. [Note: The Foundation recommends you try to arrange an MPhil by research and work in a lab. Biological Sciences has recently introduced a number of training-style Master’s courses such as Reproduction and Embryogenesis, Developmental Biology, etc. We believe that these are intended as a kind of first-year post-graduate experience for prospective PhD students at Cambridge and are not a good fit for our candidates. Still, if potential research supervisors push you in that direction, we will accept applications for those courses.] Babraham Institute (NOTE: Babraham is independent of the University, so to take this option, you must check with a research supervisor that you can pursue research there as a Cambridge student and you must apply to a Cambridge department and find a supervisor willing to support your plan.) Biochemistry Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Genetics MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology MRC Toxicology Unit Pathology Pharmacology Physiology, Development and Neuroscience Plant Sciences Psychology Wellcome MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute Wellcome Trust / Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute Wellcome Sanger Institute Zoology

Disclaimer:

Please note that your application must be for one of the above programs or it may not be considered. If you discover another program at Cambridge that is appropriate for you, please contact the Foundation. It is true that course offerings are always changing, and there are laboratories and research units in the University of Cambridge that are not always easily found on the Cambridge website. Some labs that do not advertise an MPhil may be willing to take a Churchill Scholar. Previous applicants have found relatively obscure programs that we have subsequently made eligible. You must receive permission in these cases.

Applicants to courses marked with an asterix (*) do not need to show correspondence with a supervisor on their application. Applicants to all other courses must submit evidence that their would-be supervisor thinks they would be a good fit for the lab.

Please contact the Foundation if you are interested in an area of study not specifically mentioned above, or if you have any questions, by emailing info@churchillscholarship.org or by calling 212-752-3200.
