There was a comment on another thread that said results may come later than last year's due to the number of applications. PhD applicants have started receiving 'Decision Pending' so maybe MPhil will be soon

Mine changed to DP a few days ago, not sure exactly when because I put myself on a portal checking ban. My application (inc references) was finalised at the end of Nov.

Is this applications on the whole or to this programme specifically?

Congrats 🙂 Did you apply for MPhil full-time?

Thanks! Yep- I started to apply part-time, then they said that they would only accept part-time applications for those with a good reason to be part-time, so I switched to full time before submitting. I just hope I get the final decision soon because I have other courses to respond to.


Are you a local or international student?

I applied for part-time 😭 hopefully they'll think my reasons are good

Mine has been on DP for a week or two now. I wasn't checking the portal so I don't really know when exactly it changed. Does DP automatically mean acceptance?

Also did anyone who applied to the MPhil program make the cut for the Gates Cambridge interviews? Got rejected yesterday

Hi! Does anyone know whether the MPhil in Human-Inspired AI includes interviews as part of the academic selection process, or are decisions usually made based on the written application?
I saw interviews mentioned in the Open Day timeline for funding, so I wasn’t sure if that also applies to the programme itself.
