The Studentship is open to exceptionally well-qualified candidates, of outstanding academic potential, who intend to study at the College for an MPhil with a focus on Italian Studies. Postgraduates of any University may apply. Eligible applicants must have applied for admission, or already received an offer of admission to the University of Cambridge. The Studentship will be tenable for one year in the case of an MPhil.

The successful applicant will be selected by the College, in consultation with the Italian Section, and it will be a condition of the award that they will become a member of Robinson College on taking up the Studentship.
