London NERC DTP Candidates 2023

Hi everyone, I was looking around to see if there was a group for people that have successfully become a London NERC DTP candidate and couldn’t find one, so I decided to make one myself! I thought that people could get to know each other, talk about housing, how they’re preparing for September etc. I’m excited to meet everyone!

Hi Amelia, I have applied to the London NERC DTP this year and wondered how you have found your first few months. also wondered what your interview experience for it was like. I haven't been offered an interview yet but I am in anticipation haha

Hi, first few months were really good but got quite stressful towards December as that is when you submit two project proposals that you are interested in pursuing for your PhD. However, our cohort have struggled with finding academics to supervise your PhD if you are interested in anything outside of conservation. For example, I am an Astrobiologist and there was maybe five or six people that I could speak to. I have heard that people are getting told about interviews today, any luck?
