Entry to the MRes in Management Studies programme is very competitive, so we advise candidates to apply early.
All MRes/PhD places are fully funded (fees and maintenance) through University of Cambridge scholarships, ESRC studentships, and CJBS scholarships and bursaries. To be admissible for funding, you must apply to all relevant funding sources indicated in your application form.
Our application process can be completed in two steps:
The application form requires you to write 500 words about your research interests and intended research topics. You will also need to nominate your desired PhD pathway (specialisation). The MRes programme currently accepts applicants for all the PhD pathways except Finance.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis. You can expect to hear whether or not you have been shortlisted to proceed with your application within two to three weeks of submitting your completed application.
If you are shortlisted, you will be put in contact with a member of CJBS faculty and asked to complete and submit a research proposal (of up to 2,000 words) by 4 January 2018 in preparation for your interview.
Interviews, either in person or via Skype, will take place in late January 2018. We expect to make offers in the first week of February.
