Tips from our advisors

1. Read the eligibility line by line before you write anything. Most rejections are eligibility mismatches, not weak essays.
2. Contact potential supervisors before you apply. Send a one-page research summary and a short, specific email.
3. Show a clear link between your past studies, this programme and your career goal. Committees look for a story, not a list.
4. Ask your referees at least 4 weeks ahead and give them your CV, your draft SOP and the deadline.
5. "Rolling" or "varies" does not mean unlimited time. Funds are awarded as applications are reviewed, so apply early.
6. Submit at least 48 hours before the deadline. Portals slow down on the last day.
