Guaranteed Interview Scheme

The CDT is committed to generating a diverse and inclusive training programme and is looking to attract applicants from all backgrounds.

We offer a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) for home fee status candidates who identify as Black or Black mixed or Asian or Asian mixed if they meet the programme entry requirements.

This positive action is to support recruitment of these under-represented ethnic groups to our programme and is an opt in process.

Applicants can opt in to the GIS during the application process to the CDT if they meet all three of the following criteria:

1. Identify as Black or Black mixed; Asian or Asian mixed AND

2. Hold or expect to receive either 1) a first class honours degree* or 2) a 2:1 honours degree and a Masters* or 3) a Distinction at Masters level and any undergraduate degree classification* (*or the international equivalents) AND

3. Hold Home fee status for 2025 entry

If you are an applicant from these ethnic groups and would like to be considered under the GIS you must indicate this by selecting the tick box in the GIS section of the Supplementary Application Form. By doing this you are disclosing you identify as Black or Black mixed or Asian or Asian mixed to the recruitment panel. If you do not select this box, we will be unable to guarantee you an interview under the GIS even if you meet the entry requirements. It is important to note that the GIS guarantees an interview for home fee status candidates who meet the entry criteria.

The selection decision at interview will be based on the most suitable candidate for the role regardless of background or protected characteristic.
