RCA PhD Application – Round Two Experience

Hello everyone,

I’ve applied for the Royal College of Art (RCA) PhD program in round two and am now waiting for a response. The process has been taking longer than expected.

Has anyone else applied in round two for the RCA PhD? How long did it take for you to hear back and what was your experience like?

They are pretty great at replying if you send a gentle inquiry via email. I’ve received my answers. They are kind and succinct.

Have you heard anything? I still haven’t heard anything and it’s been 12 weeks since the deadline and I’ve emailed them twice. All I get is silence.
