Recruitment is now open, until Wednesday 4 December 2024, for CDT Scholarships beginning study in September 2025. Applications are made directly to the University where the PhD project is based, using the ‘Apply Now’ link on the Project page. This will take you to the correct University online application portal where you will make your application. Specific instructions are given on each project page, but we have provided a broad overview below.
If you have not applied with that university before, you will need to set up an account to enable you to track the progress of your application and upload supporting documents.
Please note, you may only apply for ONE project offered through the EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience.
With your application, you need to upload copies of the following supporting evidence:
- complete transcripts (and final degree certificate(s) where possible). If your qualification documents are not in English, you will need to supply copies of your original language documents as well as their official translation into English.
- Your Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- A completed Supplementary Application Form (please upload according to instructions on the project page).
Guidance on completing your application:
Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with the Aura CDT website before you apply to give you a good understanding of what a CDT is, our CDT’s research focus and the training and continuing professional development programme that runs alongside the CDT. The Frequently asked questions page and Candidate resources page are essential reading prior to applying
Ensure you complete all sections of the Supplementary Application Form in font and size Calibri 11pt, specify the research project you are applying for and upload the form with your application when fully completed.
Once fully completed, you should upload the form with your application:
Durham University – please upload when asked to add Personal Statement. The Form replaces the Personal Statement and so you do not need to complete the Personal Statement section.
University of Hull – please upload when asked to add a Research Proposal (the Form replaces the Research Proposal which is not needed for this application).
Loughborough University – please upload as part of your supporting evidence documentation.
University of Sheffield – please upload when asked to add Supporting Statement. The Form replaces the Supporting Statement and so you do not need to complete the Supporting Statement section.
(You will also be asked for your degree transcripts during the application process).
Please do not send your form directly to the CDT.
Interviews will be held during mid-January 2025.
If you have any queries about the project, please contact the supervisor (details on the project pages). You may also address queries about the CDT to auracdt@hull.ac.uk.
