Allocation Process

  • Students submit their ranked preference list of 6 projects by 31st March (midnight) via the MS Forms (see Minerva)

  • We match you with a project within your ranked choice (trying to maximize your happiness!)

  • If you applied for a CRDC or Competition Based project and you did not get answer by the 31st March, please submit your choices anyway

  • Promptly let me know of your CDRC/Competition Bases outcome

 

Supervision Info

  • Dissertation work starts in early June, after your last exam
  • Contact your supervisor before June to arrange an informal meeting
