Tips from our advisors

1. Check the track’s own deadline early because tracks differ
2. Read the research of two or three groups before you write your statement
3. Read the eligibility line by line before you write anything. Most rejections are eligibility mismatches, not weak essays.
4. Contact potential supervisors before you apply. Send a one-page research summary and a short, specific email.
5. Show a clear link between your past studies, this programme and your career goal. Committees look for a story, not a list.
6. Start at least 8 to 12 weeks early. Certified transcripts, translations and referee letters usually take longer than expected.
7. Ask your referees at least 4 weeks ahead and give them your CV, your draft SOP and the deadline.
8. "Rolling" or "varies" does not mean unlimited time. Funds are awarded as applications are reviewed, so apply early.
