Deadline for EPSRC Grants: Know Your Timeframe

AI Thread Summary
EPSRC grants have a deadline for acceptance set at March 31, which is established by the EPSRC/STFC. This means that institutions cannot pressure candidates to make a decision before this date. However, there is flexibility in the timeline, as some candidates may not receive official nominations for studentships until later in the year, such as the end of June. Overall, while March 31 is the earliest decision point, it is not a strict deadline for all offers.

Hi,

Is there a deadline that EPSRC grants must be awarded by, I'm still waiting to hear back from a number of UK PhD places, and just wondering if there is a fixed time they must accept by? (i.e. like most US gradschools must accept/decline by mid April)

Thanks

When I applied for a PhD this year they told me the deadline for accepting or rejecting the offer was the 31st of March. Apparently this was set by the ESPRC/STFC.

Good luck with your applications
 
I wasn't officially nominated for an STFC studentship until the end of June, so I don't think the deadlines are that early.
 
I believe the only rule is that no where can pressure you to accept an offer before the 31st March. So that is the earliest any where can force a decision by, rather than being a deadline as such.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
