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  
  • You and your supervisor(s) should arrange up to 6 hours of meetings (modalities to be agreed) - do this as soon as possible
  • Consecutive meetings should not be more than 2-3 weeks apart
