Prospective Graduates: Entry 2012
The Faculty accepts graduate students as candidates for the M.Phil. M.Litt. or Ph.D. degrees. Most graduate students start by doing the M.Phil. This provides them with a solid background for doctoral research. Students who wish to do postgraduate work in philosophy at Cambridge should apply through the Board of Graduate Studies. Applicants for the M.Phil. must have the equivalent of a good BA Honours Degree (i.e. at least a 2i+/67%/GPA 3.6) with a minimum of two years' study in Philosophy (10 courses in the USA). Students who already hold a research preparation masters degree in philosophy, in addition to the above, may apply for the Ph.D. or M.Litt.
The deadlines for receipt of completed applications for admission in October 2012 are as follows:
| 14th October 2011 | United States applicants wishing to apply for Gates funding |
| 1st December 2011 | All other overseas and EU (excluding UK) applicants wishing to apply for Gates/CISS/CCT/COT funding. |
| 20th January 2012 | Final deadline for all other applications |
Please note that all your supporting documents must also be received by the dates above. In particular it is your responsibility to ensure that your referees send in their references by the due date.
