Closing date

New Admission Applicants
Applications should be made on-line to the Board of Graduate Studies (see:http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/prospec/apply/index.html) and the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages (seehttp://www.mml.cam.ac.uk/gradstudies/applying/phd.html) simultaneously in the normal way by the closing date.
When sending the application to the Faculty and to the Board of Graduate Studies, it is important that applicants mark the envelope and top right corner of the application form “HERA” and indicate that the start date is 1 October 2011 on the application form. In the Research Statement, candidates are required to outline their original research proposal and explain how it will fit the Project, “Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine” (seewww.memoryatwar.org). Applicants should specify Dr. Alexander Etkind as supervisor on their application forms and are encouraged to contact Dr. Etkind (ae264@cam.ac.uk) to discuss the HERA project, Cambridge College selection, and their applications. Applicants should also email the MML Graduate Office (mml-graduate-studies@lists.cam.ac.uk) indicating that they have sent an application to the Faculty to be considered for these awards.
The HERA project
The Joint Research Program, “Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine,” will explore the on-going dynamics of cultural forms of memory and the interactions of these forms inside and across Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. Inheriting tortured memories of World War II and Soviet socialism, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine are actualizing their post-traumatic energies in remarkably different and increasingly antagonistic ways. The project offers a new metric for measuring the profound changes that these countries have undergone since the collapse of the Soviet bloc. Introducing the concept of the memory event (a re-discovery of the past that creates a rupture with its accepted representation), the project examines (i) how myriad texts and artifacts of various cultural genres – novels, films, history textbooks, government decrees, monuments, and blog posts – perform memories of the traumas of the twentieth century; (ii) how artists, critics, bloggers, or historians in one country challenge, provoke, or imitate their counterparts in another country by virtue of this performance; (iii) how the nation-state participates in the public sphere by promoting, revising, or censoring these memories; and (iv) how the transnational dynamics of culture – particularly the prospect of a united and uniting Europe – affect the prospects of peace for the participants in the Memory War.
** Overseas applicants can apply but should note that the funding is at the Home/EU rate, therefore they will have to secure additional funding in order to accept the studentship.
Dual nationalities Applicants with dual nationality, who want to be classed as Home/EU students, should consult the Board of Graduate Studies website for eligibility criteria:http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/funding/costs/status.html. There are a number of requirements that must be met in order to be eligible for Home or EU fees. Students must meet the requirements of both 'settled status' and 'ordinary residence': * Settled status/nationality means that students must be nationals of the UK or another EU country, or have the right of permanent residence or indefinite leave to remain in the UK ie they must not be subject under immigration laws to any restriction on the period for which they may stay in the UK. Students may also be the 'relevant family member' of an EU national (a relevant family member is generally a spouse or civil partner, a direct descendant, or a dependant). * ‘Ordinary residence' means that in addition, students must also have been ordinarily resident in the UK, the EEA (defined as the EU together with Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway), Switzerland or the Overseas Territories for the three years prior to the start date of the course for which they are applying, and that residence should not have been wholly or mainly for the purposes of receiving education. If an applicant has both EU nationality and overseas nationality, the applicant must still meet the criteria for ordinary residence in order to be classified as a home student.
Visa applications Those students who require visas in order to study at Cambridge should note that the Faculty cannot assist in any part of the process. Instead, the first point of contact must be the visa section of the Board of Graduate Studies website:http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/intnlstud/index.html It should be noted that the visa application process is a necessarily long process and applicants for these awards are expected to begin PhD study on 1 October 2011.
