The aim of the Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars Programme (HDPSP) is to support academically outstanding University of Cambridge PhD students from any part of the world, and in any discipline, to contribute to society by producing intellectually rigorous research which makes a positive difference to the academic community and beyond.
Our values are:
Academic Excellence and Integrity
Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars strive for excellence in their academic endeavours by pursuing the highest standards of research, practice and reflection throughout their Scholarship, with a commitment to personal and professional development. Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars work in an ethical, open, responsible and accountable way to maintain these high standards and are beacons of intellectual rigour.
Innovation and Exploration
Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars are creative and critical thinkers who explore the bigger questions and challenge the norms. They are intellectually curious with a passion for discovery, knowledge acquisition and connecting and engaging with communities to put their research and wider professional activities in context.
Multidisciplinary Awareness
Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars welcome the multidisciplinary nature of their cohort, champion a collaborative learning environment and respect alternative approaches and perspectives.
