AGQ CDT (Algebra, Geometry, and Quantum Fields CDT) 2025

As far as I know, some students already received the interview invitation. Maybe they are sending invitations gradually.

Hi, was just wondering if anyone applied to the AGQ CDT this year and has heard back about it? Website said interviews would be early February but haven't received any communications.

I think they are sending invitations gradually, and also it will depend on which institute the academics are from. Personally I had an interview on the 5th with academics from Glasgow, and then another on the 10th with academics from Edinburgh. I then recieved an offer from Glasgow on Friday.
I did get the impression though that it was sort of up to the academics when they do interviews, and i think there will be multiple rounds of interviews and offers sent out.

I knew someone had interview on the 5th with people from Glasgow, and I had an interview on 10th with people from Edinburgh too. With your data maybe we can conclude that 5th for Glasgow and 10th for Edinburgh is the first round.

Sorry, I just heard people are still receiving interview invitation. Please ignore my speculation.

Who was your interview with if you don't mind me asking?

Are they still sending out interview invites, or has it already been decided? I haven't received any communication from them yet

One of my friends had their interview this Weds and was told results could take 2-3 weeks to came through. The best bet may be to email the supervisors you listed on your application form for more accurate information.

Do you happen to know to which program your friends applied to?

Hi, I also applied for the CDT, and wanted to ask, I have not been invited for an interview, but the applicant portal now shows a defer application option, even though it does not do anything at the moment. Anyone has a similar experience?

Hi, my application has the same however last week i got invited to an interview for their 5 year program which is a pre year MSc and then the PhD programme after. So you might be invited to interview for that in a couple days?

That's interesting, I take it you didn't apply for the 5 year program specifically?

Yeah I didn't but I applied to the mathematical physics panel however I have only studied maths before and they said my application was strong but I would benefit from some study in mathematical physics before the PhD. Didn't even know the pre year MSc was an option before haha
