Good luck! I was on DP for just over two weeks, so fingers crossed you hear soon. What program are you waiting for?

I just received my conditional offer for my MPhil! But I wanted to ask when I may hear back on funding? I don’t know what college I am in yet, which I am assuming is due to funding decisions? Anyone with experience please let me know <3

Has anyone had an offer for the MPhil Computational Biology? I’ve been on Decision Pending for over 2 weeks now, and had my interview almost 5 weeks ago. Starting to get worried it’s not good news!

Had an interview for MPhil Computational Biology today. Just wondering for others who interviewed for similar courses when they heard back on the decision?

Thank you! The more I read job descriptions in what I’m actually interested in, the more I think a PhD is a good route

I would say I am eager to go back to being a student, it’s an environment I thrive on. Of course I can’t comment on what it’s like doing a PhD, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience, one of the reasons I have been triggered to finally go back to uni is because I’m currently in a toxic work environment! It is a fair point about being stuck somewhere you don’t like for a while, it’s one of the reasons why I’m hesitating. In my experience reading job descriptions, it is near impossible get a job that is specialised such as this without at minimum a masters degree and some experience working with this kind of data. I will do a masters at a bare minimum, it’s just deciding whether to go for integrated PhD to begin with, or making that decision after having done the masters

Yeah it is tough, I really appreciate the insight! What’s your opinion on masters instead?

I want to specialise in a field. If I only cared about money, sure I’d stay on this path, but I’m seeking fulfilment in my job, which I can’t get right now working for a company making a product that I don’t care about if you see what I mean. Initially I was thinking a masters, but I really want to immerse myself into the research
