The University of Cambridge Centre of Islamic Studies invites applications from current Masters and PhD candidates to present their research on issues pertaining to Muslims in the UK and Europe, from any discipline. The postgraduate symposium, taking place from 12-13 May 2017, will be a platform for students to present and exchange current research on any topic in this field in a dynamic forum.

The symposium will take place at The Moller Centre, Cambridge. Accommodation will be covered by the Centre of Islamic Studies and bursaries will be available for travel within the UK.
