Ubel dtp 2026/7

Hey all,

Thought it would be useful to have a thread on the UBEL DTP programme for this year. We should hear back from them about the pre-application after Dec 12th.

I see the lat edit was made yesterday to my application which suggests the result is ready, may be not out yet. 🙄

What makes you think so?

I think if we all check 'preview', we will find the same (...last edited December 11 or 12 depending on timezone....) *I mistakenly wrote November earlier.

"preview" says that mine was last edited 12th Dec 2025 04:56 GMT. However, status still says: Application under pathway review. IDK if that bodes well or not for my application. However, what I do know is if they are still assessing applications this morning, they are behind schedule and I think we can expect some significant delays 🙃

This just intuition or what you thinking?

I think a recent edit either indicates that we have made it or have been already rejected, not sure which though

Seems like I can’t post a screenshot here, but when viewing the preview of my application in the portal on mobile, it says “We will inform candidates of outcomes and the second phase of the competition will be available on 12th December 2025” 🙃
