- your referees have provided their references.
If you miss the deadlines specified in this section, you will not be able to submit your application.
We strongly encourage all applicants, including those who have secured their funding, to apply by the funding deadline. The majority of studentships on this course will be offered by February and applicants wishing to apply after competition deadlines should contact the course administrator to check if there are any available places.
Please note that incomplete applications (those missing one or both academic references) will be seriously disadvantaged. You should ensure that academic referees submit references BEFORE the funding deadline.
Selection Process
This course will conduct interviews of shortlisted applicants. Most of these interviews will take place in January. Successful applicants will be made offers and those eligible will be entered for the funding competition by mid-February.
