Hi, congratulations!! I am really happy for you. Could you tell me a bit more about your experiences and how you think it might have helped you to get the interview? I hope your interview goes amazingly.


Thank you so much! It’s my second year applying to PhDs (after being rejected from like 9 programmes before interview last year) and I’m not super sure what helped this time round.

On one hand, I was a lot more descriptive in terms of transferrable skills I gained rather than technical stuff I learnt. I also made it clear why I’d be a good fit for the uni itself, not just the programme, which I hadn’t done last year.

On the other hand, I also started my Master’s this year, which I know they like despite the first year of the DTP being another Master’s anyways. I wouldn’t say that I have too much experience otherwise, just a year of working in industry. After talking to a lot of people, I feel like it’s a lot more relevant how you sell what you’ve done rather than how much you’ve actually done.

Sorry, this was kind of vague hah. Good luck with your other applications!!
It’s strange i still have not received anemail from them 😔
