NINE DTP applicants

Hey! Has anyone on the NINE DTP reserve list received any updates?

Thanks!

Has anyone got the official offer letter from their institution already? (Durham in particular?)

I've just receive an email stating that I'm in the reserved list (not too sure how to feel about this) Not in Durham tho. Goood luck!

Hello! I'm on the reserve list also - ncl. May I know which pathway or institution you applied to? (totally fine if it's not convenient!)

Best luck!

Heya! Thank you 😄 I'm applying with QUB and in psychology! I'm doing a collaboration with an organisation but I'm also an international student so I believe that kinda lower the odds unfortunately. What about you?

Im like under the limbo of trying to stay positive but also being realistic and lowering my expectation 😭

They mentioned that in these 2 weeks we would probably find out but till aug-sept, there's still (but a very slim) chance for those on the reserve list, if anyone drops out at the very last minute.

Hi, thank you so much for the response! Very similar situation - international students & Linguistics = 'double kill', isn't it? 🙂️

That said, I think if you have connections with organisations, your chance should be improved, so do stay positive!

In the notice sent by my institution (ncl), it says that awardees have to confirm their places by 20 Apr, so that the reserved candidates will be contacted thereafter asap...(but they didn't specify whether the notice will arrive within these two weeks). However, I was just aware that Durham had actually asked their awardees to respond by 27 Apr, so now it seems a bit confusing to me as to how the reserve list operates. For example, if one in Psychology gave up the nomination, will this offer come to the top-ranked candidates in the same pathway (Psychology) or only to those who placed highest on a mixed reserve list?

Aw it's so tough isn't it! So I think they are given two weeks to let the schools know if they decide to take on the offer. Based on what my supervisor say, usually the selected candidates may have multiple offers from different funding streams so I guess it depends on who they choose. Not too sure about how the reserve list work but I would assume it's regardless of pathway but a mix list 🤔may be wrong tho. What I'm curious about is for us international students, since there's only 30% of the slots are allocated for international students. But fingerscrossed! You never know what could happen

Yep! You never know!

And I have the same doubts also - for int. students, if we are placed on the same reserve list? But considering the EDI policy, I positively guess that the answer would be 'yes'

Again, sending lots of luck to you! I will update here and let you know upon receiving further notices.

Does anyone know what support students would receive from NINE DTP except for stipends? The information about research grant, training courses, and placement is a bit vague on their website.

Hey - I think NINE and NBC DTP operates in a similar manner. NINE provides RTSG support also:https://www.ninedtp.ac.uk/rtsg/ .

And perhaps you can chat with the DTP administrator of your pathway to get more info.

I think people on the reserve list may hear back in mid-May, don't lose hope!

Hi, wondering if any of the reserves have received news from your institutions?

Thanks!

Hello!!! I know this is an old threat, but I would like to ask you guys when you learned if you where accepted? I mean, I know that this year the committee will take the final decision today, 26th of March. When should I expect to know the outcome? Many thanks, I am so nervous...

Last year I only knew the results in late April and got the formal letter in the beginning of May.
