Deadlines

We operate two main internal review deadlines for shortlisting and interviews. We continue to review applications beyond these two deadlines, but most offers are normally made after the first two deadlines, so early applications are strongly encouraged.

There is a separate funding deadline for University based funding – normally the two NanoDTC internal review deadlines are before the funding deadline.

For entry in Oct 2024 the deadlines are expected to be:

5th Dec 2023 (1st round)

4th Jan 2024 (2nd round)

Offers may be made after the first round, before applications from further rounds are considered.

Shortlisting and Interviews

All candidates who are shortlisted will be invited for interview. The interviews will be conducted remotely, as part of a two-day event, which will include an opportunity for interviewees to talk to our current students and learn about some of the research and facilities in the key departments where we are based: Physics, Chemistry, Materials, and Engineering.

Interviews are planned for mid-late Jan 2024. Shortlisted candidates will be informed by email.

Applicants who receive offers will also be
offered a chance to visit us in person in May 2024. Visits before this date can be arranged upon request.
