Pre-applications are reviewed by a panel of CEPS CDT Directors from both UCL and University of Cambridge to assess your suitability before you are invited to make a full application.
You may express a preference for either UCL or University of Cambridge at pre-application stage.
Step 2: Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview.
Step 3: Successful interviewees are invited to make a full application* to either UCL or University of Cambridge. Full applications are processed by the respective university.
