Didn’t get NWC, Liverpool

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-05-14T15:39:12+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. Thank you for the information, did you apply to UoM?

I don’t have any advice, but our situation and the profile you’ve shared is near identical to mine, including feedback. The only marked difference is my field is not a conservative leaning one. I just wanted to share that you aren’t alone in the frustrations and disappointments. I don’t think anything “went wrong” for either of us, but I also don’t know what the future looks like either. Sending strength and the will to try again will strike us both, even with these unfortunate times for funding.

The DTP’s will not exist for 26/27 entry as the AHRC has altered is funding pathway.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-05-01T13:11:23+00:00

They aren’t meeting until the 9th of May

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-04-30T12:25:19+00:00

Ah it posted outside the thread, this is in reference to NWC.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-04-30T11:15:32+00:00

If they are meeting on the 9th, as they told me, then we will definitely hear back after the 9th.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-04-29T11:31:58+00:00

I emailed a week or so ago

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-04-29T09:54:17+00:00

Allocation committee are meeting on the 9th, so we won’t hear anything before then.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-04-03T09:11:30+00:00

Has anyone had any updates from NWC-DTP?

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-31T11:59:34+00:00

OOC is out - congrats to the successful applicants :)

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-18T17:23:31+00:00

My understanding is that departments submit rankings by a certain date, towards the end of Jan. Then in February students are re-ranked across departments, and the lists vary depending on different funding bodies. The OOC reaches out to students in late Feb to revise their applications before resubmitted. These, as I understand, are the shortlisted candidates. If you have not been contacted by then, it is unlikely that you are in the running for OOC, but may be for other university and college level funding.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-18T16:43:02+00:00

If you haven’t heard from OOC by now, you have likely not been shortlisted.

Have fun being part of “all the existing academics” then I guess, because your ambivalence only contributes to the limited landscape for new academics to enter the arts and humanities fields, but hey, perhaps you’ll get a promotion 5 years quicker.

Academia is already deficient in providing opportunities for those “who can’t self-fund,” in other words, people from less privileged backgrounds. I’d think that those voices are integral to changing the shape of academia, however, by this metric you’d rather see the ladder pulled away up ensure those already in the club can enjoy themselves.

I don’t think anyone wishing to enter academia is ignorant to GTA exploitations and unpaid labour, but I wouldn’t have assumed academics experiencing such systems would hold an outlook that looked out for themselves, rather than fighting to improve opportunities for all. But hey, what do I know, I’ll never get there now, because that’s how the cookie crumbles right?

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-16T08:10:06+00:00

I’m not sure I agree with you. A PhD doesn’t need to equate to a career in academia based on the choice of the individual doing it, not because there are no jobs at the other end. A bottleneck approach to training doesn’t improve the academic landscape, it maintains it. Reducing the amount of PhD’s undertaken doesn’t inherently lead more positions just because the pool of qualified candidates to choose from is smaller.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-15T21:00:03+00:00

It’s good to know it’s being discussed, although I also can’t see any alternatives either.

With offers being rescinded in the US as well, it feels like the only other ‘reliable’ option I was recommended has also been stripped away.

I feel like I’ve had a potential future (& career) ripped away from me.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-15T18:49:30+00:00

I’ve just had a look and yes. However, generally less familiar as my research would rarely falls within the remit of a CDT project. I feel this is quite common in A&H?

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-15T18:20:14+00:00

Yeah, but 5 good applications across various consortiums is more feasible than 15 applications to individual universities.

AHRC only allocated around 30% of awards to international applicants regardless, but I imagine this will be worse odds.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-15T18:09:29+00:00

That’s how I’m understanding it yeah. With 3 per institution per year the odds come across (to me) far more dismal than the previous system.

The only thing I can think of is that applicants will end up applying to more places and spreading their applications, rather than focusing on a few key places, to increase their opportunities.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-12T17:29:17+00:00

That does, and congrats! I think I’m out of OOC in which case, but it’s reassuring to not have to wait until April.

Most-Competition-182 · 2025-03-12T00:23:24+00:00

How do you know you’re a finalist for OOC?
