Graduate study
The College has graduate students in virtually every subject. The substantial number of graduate students and Fellows at King's means that you will be part of a vibrant and supportive research community.
As a graduate student, you will receive most of your teaching through your Department or Faculty. For research students with Supervisors, your Supervisor may not necessarily be a member of King's. However, the College is still central to the intellectual life of most of its graduate students and a major research institution.
A quick note on terminology: you may see the words 'graduate' and 'postgraduate' used across different Cambridge websites and forms. At King's, we use the former term, although they are generally synonymous and can be used interchangeably. If you're ever uncertain, please get in touch with our Graduate Admissions team who are happy to help.
Application deadlines
Applications for the 2026/27 academic year are now open.
Specific application deadlines depend on the course and whether you are applying for funding - you are encouraged to apply as early as possible as some courses will fill up quickly.
The Postgraduate Study Course Directory can be used to find the deadline for the course that you are interested in.
