Cambridge History Applicants

Hi @ringo, I applied for admission into the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine program.  Not exactly history, but closely related nonetheless! I submitted in early January and am currently under review by the degree committee.  I think HPS applications skip the department phase (or go through very quickly) and head straight to the under review by degree committee phase, so I'm in essentially the same place as you.    Best of luck!

Hey! Good luck to you as well. It seems to me that most of their decisions are made in Feb and Mar…clock's ticking:p

Hello all,

I have been given an offer to study an MPhil in American history. I have a quick question regarding my research proposal- must it be what I ultimately pursue at Cambridge? Since my submission, my interests within the field have changed a bit, and I would like to pursue a new potential dissertation topic (within American History, of course).

Congrats on the Mphil offer!

And not at all. They understand that interests change and evolve with time. Just make sure when you get there you tell your supervisor(s) that you're going to rework your topic. Would help if you can get a fresh proposal drafted by october. 

Many people in my cohort changed their dissertation topics, including myself, so I don't think it should be an issue.
