To commemorate the connection between the renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan and Trinity College, the College hopes to award each year a Ramanujan Research Studentship in the broad field of Pure or Applied Mathematics to an applicant from India hoping to do research for the PhD degree in Cambridge.
Students of any university or comparable institution in India who have not already begun residence in Cambridge and who hold a First Class Honours degree or its equivalent, or are likely to do so by the time of entry, are eligible to apply. The Ramanujan Student must become a member of Trinity College and must be accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies for study in the University. He/she will normally be expected in the first instance to take the nine month course leading to the Master of Advanced Study (MASt) in Mathematics.
On successful completion of the course with a Distinction, and acceptance by the Board of Graduate Studies for registration as a candidate for the PhD degree, the student will then have her/his award renewed for up to a further three years, subject to satisfactory progress. Exceptionally, a Ramanujan Studentship may be awarded for three years of research only, leading to the PhD degree, and without the requirement to study in the first instance for the MASt.
Completed Preliminary Application forms must be returned by post to the Tutor for Advanced Students, Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ or by email to gradtutor@trin.cam.ac.uk and should arrive not later than Wednesday, 15 January 2014.

Further Details
A Ramanujan Student will normally be awarded the Ramanujan Studentship for nine months in the first instance, while he/she takes the course leading to the Master of Advanced Study (MASt) in Mathematics. Subject to completion of the course with a Distinction and registration for the PhD degree, the Studentship will then be renewed from October following the award of the Master for up to three further years, subject to satisfactory progress.Emoluments for the Ramanujan Research Studentship in Mathematics
A student who has no support from any other source may expect:
- to have all approved fees paid on her/his behalf;
- to receive an adequate maintenance allowance (the rate for students undertaking a MASt in Mathematics course is set at the minimum maintenance rate required by Board of Graduate Studies plus a settling in allowance of £350 (2013/14 rate) for Overseas students, and £13,226 per annum (2013/14 rate) for the PhD);
- to receive allowances covering the costs of travel
- from India to the United Kingdom at the commencement of the Studentship,

- if the Studentship is renewed, to travel again to the United Kingdom, and
- to return to India after completion of the research period;
- to be considered, if qualified, for a discretionary maintenance allowance for the period between completion of the Master of Advanced Study and commencement of research.
