We recognise the importance of diversity of perspective and experience within our cohorts and seek to optimise the diversity of cohorts to the benefit of all our students. In particular, we welcome applicants who have experienced social, economic or educational disadvantage, with an express objective of ensuring that the bursary is used to enable applications from disadvantaged backgrounds to access the opportunity of study with us. We will particularly consider:

• Candidates who are under-represented at Cambridge including but not limited to refugees or asylum seekers, carers, care-leavers, individuals with a disability
• Candidates who can demonstrate a case for financial need, including applicants from low income backgrounds, low-income countries or without access to company or other sources of funding.

Applications are welcome from any candidate, irrespective of gender, nationality, or geographical location. There are no restrictions on citizenship, country of residence or fee status.
