Honorary PhD

Woolf Institute Honorary PhD Scholarships are awarded to outstanding PhD scholars at Cambridge University whose research is relevant to the focus of the Woolf Institute – the multi-disciplinary study of relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims. These scholars are either self-funded or have been awarded a fully-funded scholarship.

Awardees of the Honorary Scholarship can apply for seed funding for a workshop or small conference at the Woolf Institute and take part in all Institute events and conferences free of charge. Honorary Scholarship holders are also invited to our closed events.

'As an honorary PhD scholar, I have access to a modern workspace in an outstanding building, which can double up as a superb conference space. The academic environment is diverse and stimulating, while I am also given opportunities to network and interact with scholars working in disciplines and on time periods I would otherwise not be exposed to. On top of that, the Woolf Institute has provided me with a supportive social network of peers and more senior academic colleagues, who have given me invaluable advice throughout my first year.' (Christopher Cooper-Davies, AHRC Doctoral Scholar in History at St. John’s College, Cambridge and Woolf Institute Honorary PhD Scholar)
