The Gates Cambridge Scholarships

"Studying in an excellent scientific centre such as the University of Cambridge is a one-in-a-life-time opportunity to learn and develop myself professionally as I work on a daily basis with a leader in my field of interest. Moreover, living abroad for three years and meeting people from all over the world has certainly broadened my horizons and provided me with an insight into several different cultures. I am very grateful to the Gates Cambridge Trust for making this possible." Mr Andre Sartori ( Brazil, PhD Earth Sciences)

“Having recently graduated with an MPhil in Economics, I am now continuing to work towards my PhD in Economics. In particular, I am developing models of oil supply in the presence of heterogeneous oil fields in order to shed light on the geopolitics of the oil supply process. I am very grateful for the PhD funding provided by the Gates Cambridge Trust, as it has given me the opportunity to study at Cambridge and allowed me to work towards my goal of pursuing a career in academia.” Mr Kamiar Mohaddes (Sweden, PhD Economics)

"After obtaining an LLM at Utrecht University I read for the MPhil in International Relations at Cambridge. Before I embarked on the PhD project, the call from the reality of the "world out there" was too strong. I worked for a year as legal and political advisor on the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in challenging Sudan. Now I hope to combine the working experiences and studies in a thesis on the interaction between international criminal courts and the domestic rule of law in states in transition from war to peace." Ms Sarah Nouwen (Netherlands, PhD International Law)
