Meet the DLA online event
REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED
Registration now open for candidates applying for October 2026 entry
The NERC CREATES Doctoral Landscape Award is holding a virtual Meet the DLA session on Friday 24th October 2025 from 1pm to 2pm GMT.
The aim of this informal session is for prospective applicants to find out more about what to expect from the application process and interview, from our DLA team and from current students. The session will last one hour and will broadly be structured as follows:
- Short introduction from DLA staff
- Informal chat with current students in breakout rooms, during which time you can ask any questions you have about the process
- Return to main room and an opportunity to ask any remaining questions
Do feel free to ask any our current students any questions you may have about the application (any tips? should I visit the department?), what’s so good about Cambridge (Will I fit in there? What’s life like in a collegiate university?) and what it’s like to do a PhD.
Please note that this session is not about the practicalities of how to apply. Information about applying to the DLA is available on our website here.
Pease register here by Monday 20th October 2025.
If you have any questions related to the application process itself, please get in touch with us at dtp-admin@esc.cam.ac.uk
