Scientist Training Programme (STP) Applicants 2025

Rank 148 for cardiac science (40 posts) 🥴

Where did you see that? The posts this morning would suggest it's around 2 per post

Hi all, just wanted to share a message of hope for those with STP rankings that were not as good as they hoped. I have applied for the STP the last 3 years, 1st year not longlisted, 2nd year shortlist on hold (ranked 29 for 10 places), this year with the same application rank 72. Luckily for me this year it doesn't matter as I've got a job as a clinical scientist trainee on IPEM route 2 for HCPC registration. The job I got was advertised for a fully qualified clinical scientist but I emailed the head of department and he encouraged me to apply and got accepted into the role as a trainee. It's taken me 3 long years to get here so don't be disheartened if this year isn't your year, you might not even need the STP!

Shortlist reserve rank 16 for 9 posts ?? Make that make sense

This is weird.. if it's 2 interviews per post like it seems to be, and they've also said that there are the same number of reserves as there are posts, then your rank doesn't add up hmm...

How come? If it's 2 interviews per post, you should be shortlisted (interview)

Yeah bizarre

You should check with them. This is very weird. Who knows their algorithm made an error

I'm rank 55 for clinical engineering, there's only 14 places I have absolutely no chance 😭

If it was 3 people offered interview per post then I think I would have been offered. Theres 16 places, 16x3 is 48 and my score is lower than that? So maybe only 2 per post?

62 for cancer genomics…. Think there’s 13 posts?
