EnterpriseTECH guidance

If you’re offered a place on the programme, a personal deposit of £50 is requested to secure your place. This deposit is deducted from the total programme fee.

Fees do not cover transportation, non-programme sustenance or accommodation expenses.

University of Cambridge applicants

• Enquire how your programme fee might be (fully or partly) covered by your department, CDT or college. We don’t have any influence and can’t guarantee success. It’s your responsibility, so check with them first so you can confirm your funding source on the application form.
• We’re sometimes able to offer a limited number of scholarships for postdocs and eligible PhD students. These have strict criteria attached to them. You can ask to be considered for one of these when you apply.
• Self-funding is an option and we may offer you the flexibility to pay your fee in three instalments.

External applicants

• You’ll be asked for a funding source on the application form. Sometimes this is another university’s training budget, or a corporate sponsor. It’s your responsibility to enquire if you can get support, so check first. Fees are paid before the programme begins.
• Self-funding is an option and we may offer you the flexibility to pay your fee in three instalments.

Scholarship and funding opportunities for EnterpriseTECH

Scholarship requests are reviewed by the EnterpriseTECH team. You may need to apply for some of these funding opportunities separately, please check requirements below. We will also advise on this if you get offered a place on EnterpriseTECH and so we recommend you have a funding backup plan in place.
