Deadline for EPSRC Grants: Know Your Timeframe

[h0dgey84bc]

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.
