ARE THERE ANY OTHER CRITERIA WHICH MAY AFFECT WHETHER OR NOT I AM OFFERED A PLACE?
We select students for admission without regard to gender, marital or civil partnership status, disability, race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age or social background.
Applications for the RDM Scholars Programme and WIMM Prize Studentships are highly competitive and offers are made on the basis of available funding. We may be unable to make you an offer simply because other applicants were stronger.
We are also only able to make offers when we have adequate supervision available. This may mean that we are unable to make you an offer because your preferred supervisor is unable to take on further students in a given year.
