Application Process and Guidance

This year 25/26 we are changing our application process. Please make sure you fully read the application guidance described in these pages before starting your application.

Application Process Overview

The CDT Application process consists in 2 stages as illustrated below.

STAGE 1: Applicants submit an online first-stage Application Form. Successful applicants are then invited to proceed to Stage 2. Unsuccessful applicants are given brief feedback as to why they have been rejected.

STAGE 2: Stage-1 successful applicants submit a Full Application via EUCLID, which is the University of Edinburgh Application Portal. Complete applications are passed on to supervisors for shortlisting. Successful applicants are invited for interview. Unsuccessful applicants are given feedback as to why they have been rejected.
