Deadlines
We operate two main internal review deadlines for shortlisting and interviews. We continue to review applications beyond these two deadlines, but most offers are normally made after the first two deadlines, so early applications are strongly encouraged.
There is a separate funding deadline for University based funding – normally the two NanoDTC internal review deadlines are before the funding deadline.
Your application must include the following before we can consider it:
1. The completed application form
2. Two academic references
3. Your university transcript
4. Your CV
The two internal review deadlines for shortlisting and interviews, applicable to the October 2026 entry, are:
tbc (1st round)
tbc (2nd round)
Offers may be made after the first round, before applications from further rounds are considered
Shortlisting and Interviews
All candidates who are shortlisted will be invited for interview. The interviews will be conducted remotely, as part of a two-day event, which will include an opportunity for interviewees to talk to our current students and learn about some of the research and facilities in the key departments where we are based: Physics, Chemistry, Materials, and Engineering.
Interviews normally take place mid-late Jan. Shortlisted candidates will be informed by email.
Applicants who receive offers will also be
offered a chance to visit us in person, this normally happens in May. Visits before this date can be arranged upon request.
