CDT Application Instructions
Applicants must apply to CDT using the University's generic PhD application form. To ensure the CDT receives your application, you must:
- Follow the guidance (DA CDT Application Instructions V5_2023).
- Select 'Electrical Engineering and Electronics PhD' for the programme of study on the University's application form (see point 1 on the CDT application instructions).
- Send your ranked list of the top 3 preferred projects at the end of your supporting statement (see point 4 on the CDT application instructions).
Any deviation from the guidance may result in your application not being processed and/or deferred to the next round of recruitment. All applications are assessed by independent academic panels. The outcomes are scored, ranked and the top applicant for each project will be invited to interview. The CDT aims to make informal offers to the successful candidates within one month of the closing date.
"The DA CDT process was the best application process I undertook, inclusive of the many job applications I completed during my undergraduate."
"My PhD project gives me an excellent opportunity to do some research, work with an industrial partner and learn how to expand the theory and at the same time, apply it to a specific problem."
