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.

EnterpriseTECH STAR fees

The following fees apply:

EnterpriseTECH STAR guidance

• You must have completed (or be currently on) EnterpriseTECH to have your application considered. We may make an occasional exception, please enquire first.
• For University of Cambridge Postdoctoral Research Associates, there are opportunities to have your fees covered via the EPSRC or BBSRC Impact Accelerator Award scheme. This may require a little extra effort from you if you’re offered a place, we will guide you in this process.
• If you are offered a place, you pay a personal deposit of £100. This is deducted from the programme fee.

We will refund 50% of the fee up to one calendar month before and 20% between one calendar month and 10 days before the start.
