Hi, I have made an application but it is still under department review at the moment. Have you had any further updates? :smile:
I have applied too!, if you dont mind me asking what are yours and other peoples credentials?

I have applied with a 1st class in economics and sociology from the university of Manchester and with a years experience in front of house research and investment at a boutique asset manager. However i had to apply very late due to personal circumstances so i am not feeling too positive as a result but i do not know how much that is weighted in.

I spent alot of time doing the research proposal, does anyone know if its important?

Best of luck to everyone!
Anyone had an update on their application? :smile:

From what I can gather, they are currently reviewing 'batch 3' which is applications submitted from December to the end of January.

I have ‘chased’ the result about a week ago and ve been told that the admission process has been delayed coz the recent industrial actions, they are expecting to give me the result by end of March, so I guess is gonna be this week.
Good luck!

I plan to apply in the following weeks for the 2024 intake - how long did it take for you guys to hear back?
From what I heard, they sometimes take up to 4 months with their response...

Hey. I applied to MPhil REF too and submitted my application on 7th October. Still haven't heard back, as my application is under review by Department. What about yourself?

Thanks! I applied around the 1st of December, it just says being reviewed by department. Does anyone know if there are interviews held for this course and whether they are technical, motivational or both?
