UCL PhD applicants

Hi, are there any UCL phd applicant? I've been interviewed and recommended by the department, but they told me that the final confirmation will be decided by the UCL. Did any of you received the confirmation already? I'm wondering if I'll have to wait until the end of March for the final decision

hi! I also applied and interviewed with my potential supervisor a while ago, but the status on Portico still says under assessment and has been this way for more than 6 weeks. Did your status change on Portico?

Hi! I just received an update on my application status on Portico yesterday -- I received a conditional offer. You should receive an email alert that informs you the change in your application status.

Hi Michael, sorry to hear that -- fingers crossed for your other applications! I applied to UCL Geog PhD. You?

Hi ! Mine is AI-enabled Healthcare(MRes+PhD), even it is not my main target, an upset news.

Finally a thread for UCL PhD Applicants! Thanks for creating this. There's a UCL Postgraduates 2023 thread but I don't think there was a single PhD candidate. Can we introduce ourselves please (programmes we've applied for, when, and current application status)? I'll start here: I've applied for the PhD programme in Global Health and I submitted my application on Feb 03. My status says 'under assessment'.

Hopefully you will hear some positive news from your other applications! Is AI-enabled Healthcare the only programme you applied with UCL?

Hi! I submitted my application (for a place in the programme, not funding) in early Jan, and received my outcome on 18 Feb morning (or 17 Feb UK time), if this helps!

And yes, I think the UCL Postgraduate thread has fewer posts specifically relating to PhD, so maybe this thread is more focused!

Thanks a lot! It's of course not the only one, my potential supervisor advised me to apply two programmes, one is this, another is in department of medical physics and biomedical engineering, this one is also our main application and a fortunate news is that I was nominated by the department for RES scholarship. But you know, scholarship in UK is strick competitive...

Wonderful to hear from you, and thanks for the update! Heartiest congratulations for your offer. Did you apply for any funding?

Thank you! Am hoping you'll get to hear your outcome soon! I also wonder if the recent strikes have some implications on the progress of the applications.. so the delay could be due to administrative reasons. Yes, I applied for the UCL-RES and UBEL DTP funding for my UCL applications. You?

I had no idea about the strikes. Looks like that might have delayed the process. I was a little late in sending my PhD application, so I was ineligible for RES. I've applied for a scholarship from my home country though, let's see how that goes. I heard UBEL DTP involved two stages of selection. Are you through with them?

That's great to hear! Yes, funding applications are very competitive indeed -- guess we've already done what we possibly can, so just keep our fingers crossed while moderating our expectations!

I see! Great that you've options from your home country! I haven't received any updates from the DTP panel since I submitted my application in end Jan, so have to see how it goes!
