Our Four Year PhD studentships are advertised in November with the programme commencing in September of the following year. The application deadline will be in mid January, with interviews in early February. Applicants will be asked to give a short 8 minute presentation before the interview, based on a research topic they have studied, prior to interview by a panel of 4-5 academics including members of Programme committee. Microsoft Teams presentation and interview are offered to ensure inclusivity as required. Opportunities to meet with current PhD students will be available on the day.
Writing an application for a DTP programme is much like applying for a job, but you’ll want to really highlight any research experience you’ve had, to show your commitment to this path. Use the tips listed in the Support section to help you tailor your CV and personal statement to good effect.
