Money

You should refer to the Finance web pages for information on fees, rents and other college charges, and paying your bills.

Undergraduates

If you find yourself facing financial difficulties do consult your Tutor, or the Tutorial Office, in good time. Cambridge is relatively well supplied with funds to help in cases of hardship and students are not expected to take on paid employment during Full Term. Current information on all these and other funds is posted on the Finance noticeboard in the Administrative Corridor, and appears on the Student Support section of the Finance web pages.

Graduates

Fees

Approved Fees (the University Fee and Consolidated College Fee) will be paid directly to Murray Edwards College for graduates who hold a full postgraduate award from the British Academy, a UK Research Council or the Cambridge Trusts. Other graduate students will need to ensure personally that arrangements are made for payment of fees as soon as they fall due. Please note that graduate students will not be permitted to remain in residence if fees remain unpaid by the division of the term (roughly half way through Full Term) for which they fall due.

Charges made by the College for accommodation etc; you must meet these yourself, with the help of your maintenance grant or private resources, as appropriate.

Maintenance Costs

Cheques for maintenance grants from the Cambridge Trusts and are sent to Murray Edwards College (New Hall) and can usually be collected from the Student Accountant on the first day of each Full Term. You will be advised when cheques have arrived. If you do not receive a maintenance grant you should make sure that you have enough money to cover all your expenses at Cambridge; the amount needed will have been communicated to you before you were admitted as a graduate student by the University. Any financial guarantees provided to the Board of Graduate Studies will be taken by this College as evidence that you have sufficient funds to meet your needs for your entire course. The possibility of currency fluctuations should be borne in mind and Overseas Students are advised to bring with them, if at all possible, at least enough money for each year of residence at the beginning of the year.

The College has limited funds to assist graduate students with the cost of their research and Clinical students with the cost of their Electives; please see the Graduate Funding pages for further information. Any Graduate Student in financial difficulties should see her Graduate Tutor as soon as possible after these difficulties are encountered.
