UCL Birkbeck MRC DTP 2024

for people who got an interview on the neuroscience stream does anyone remember when we'd hear back? i was so nervous at the end, i verbally acknowledged what they said and don't think i mentally registered it lmao

Has anyone received a reply regarding the outcome of Fundamental Mechanisms of Disease interviews?

Yes the day after, I got an offer

Anyone whos had an interview, how was it? I have mine soon but im so nervous! Were the questions predictable?

Hey, congrats on receiving an interview invitation! I had an interview for the Fundamental Mechanisms of Disease theme. Regarding the presentation (they asked us to prepare a 3-min presentation regarding one of our research projects), they asked me questions mostly on data interpretation - such as what do you think underlies your findings and then based on my answer, they asked me to explain how I could test my hypotheses. This was followed by a subset of the predictable PhD interview questions - such as if you had unlimited funds what would you like to study, suggestions for potential supervisors for the rotations, difficulties you faced so far in your research studies, etc. Hope this helps and best of luck with your interview!

Has anyone heard back from the fundamental mechanisms of disease interviews yet? It’s almost been 2 weeks now…

Nope, nothing yet - good to know it's not just me! I'm a home student - interviewed on 21st.

I interviewed for a BBSRC programme the same day as well, and haven't heard either way from them either.

Has anyone applied for the UCL Birkbeck MRC DTP? If yes, have you received any update?

Hiya only a fellow prospective student Angela from Birkbeck here! What's an MRC DTP?
