Even I have not received it. I gave my test around December 28th though. Do they send out invitations to SHL for everybody who has applied?
It seems no one has received feedback from the SHL assessments this year. And yes I do think everyone who applies gets SHL invites because they send out the link pretty quickly after you apply. We will likely hear back soon, considering that applications are now closed.

Yeah I applied last year and that was true (a few days later I believe). I applied this year and received no feedback after assessment though

Nope, this year I guess they have not sent answers straight after completing assessment also I haven't got any revert yet !

This is scary! When will they send us the mail?? Cause it's been days since I've given my test and it's way beyond closing date too now

Do you have any idea on what would happen if I had applied to the same Bioscience role from 2 different email ids?

Hi! I am applying to the AstraZeneca R&D grad scheme this year (think application opens on the 8th??) and i'm wondering if I can apply to both the Chemistry and Bioscience positions? I have a degree in Chemistry, Medicinal and Biological Chemistry but my research projects have been in structural biology and bioinformatics and I would say I prefer biochemistry over pure chemistry. Are we discouraged from applying to multiple at the same site? I am worried they will immediately disregard my application if i apply for a bioscience role with a chemistry degree haha. Thanks and good luck to anyone else applying!

Hii any updates yet?

I would apply to both and tailor each application to the role. Your chemistry degree plus structural biology and bioinformatics experience fits bioscience well, so don’t worry about that. Keep the examples clear and role specific.

Have others on this thread applied to PT&D? Hoping we start to hear back by next week since the applications page suggests responses from 4-8 weeks from the deadline. I'm guessing anyone who applied earlier or was referred may hear back sooner?

The programmes are very competitive and the triage process takes time. It is progressing but comms about assessment centres will not happen until end of feb/early march.

But what about video interview? Shouldn't there be another round of interview before assessment centre?
