Application Process

All applications must be made using the central university postgraduate application form.

Please read the postgraduate step by step guide for help with the application process. The course code is P-F343 (PhD - Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems). Please include 'HetSys' for the 'Research Group or area of interest', and add 'HetSys' along with the title of the PhD research project or projects that you are interested in.

In the Research Proposal section of the application form, there is no need to upload a proposal. Instead, please nominate 1-3 projects you are interested in, in order of preference.

Forward the confirmation of your application to hetsys@warwick.ac.uk.

There is no formal deadline by which applications must be submitted, but applicants should note that applications can only be considered once all supporting documentation has been received, and that both places to study and available funding will be limited. Therefore early submission of your application to study is encouraged.

Funding

For the 2021/22 academic year, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding is open to both UK and International research students as detailed on the UKRI website. Please be aware that the CDT is in the process of interviewing and allocating our funded places and therefore any applications made from this point forward are very unlikely to receive funding.
