Wellcome Trust General Graduate Development Programme 2020/2021

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone else had applied for the Wellcome Trust graduate scheme? (I haven't seen a thread about it anywhere else?)

Hello, i applied too and still not heard back. Hopefully we find out before the end of this week!

Hi, I’ve applied to science, innovations, communications and social science. I emailed a while ago and they just said sometime in December. I reckon it’ll be before Friday as they’ll want the week off for Christmas.

Out of interest- what others are people applying for? I’m finding these kind of schemes pretty rare.

Yeah, I found it quite hard to find other stuff like this one! - I applied for the fast stream, NHS graduate management, and the DHSC policy fast track. Did you find anything else relevant?

I’ve also applied for NHS and Think Ahead which isn’t directly relevant to this one, it’s mental health social work, but it’s all within my interests if that makes sense. I’ve applied for graduate medicine but it’s looking like I’ll have to pursue other passions to put it lightly!!

Hi everyone,Just got my email about video interviews and wondering if anyone is having the same issue I am. I have clicked through the link to the video interview platform, where it says 'The deadline for this interview has already passed.' On the email it says the deadline is the 3rd Jan 2020 - when it should say 2021! I've emailed Nicole, who sent the original email, but got an automated reply that she is out of office until January 7th! Which is after the deadline.Anyone else having this issue / have any ideas what I should do?

Thanks so much!
I don't know - they didn't give me that information I'm afraid.
This is my second time applying, last year I didn't get past the first stage.
