In addition to over 150 departments, faculties and institutes, the University of Cambridge consists of 31 Colleges. Each is an independent institution with its own property, income and staff. b. Every postgraduate student also becomes a member of one of the Colleges. c. If you are applying for postgraduate study, you may state a choice of two Colleges on your application form, or you may leave that section blank and be considered by any College. d.

But all Colleges share the same aim of providing a safe, helpful and stimulating environment for their members. Further information is available for postgraduate applicants. g.

It is very important to note that you are looking for the funding deadline and not the application deadline.

19. While we appreciate that this can be an anxious time for applicants, your patience would be appreciated while waiting for a decision.
