AI Thread Summary
PhD application deadlines in the northern hemisphere vary significantly by region and program. In the UK, particularly for physics, deadlines typically range from January to March. In the US, deadlines are generally earlier, with specific programs like the University of Colorado having a January 1 deadline. Other notable institutions such as Berkeley, UCLA, and Stanford set their deadlines around December 15 and 16, while the University of Michigan's deadline is January 15. Most graduate programs finalize their decisions and extend offers by April 15.

Hi all,
When are the deadlines for PhD applications in the northern hemisphere?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In the UK, I think (physics at least) deadlines vary from January to March.
 
In the US application deadlines are typically earlier, but it varies by the program. My graduate program (University of Colorado) had a deadline of Jan 1 this year. I notice Berkeley, UCLA and Stanford had deadlines of Dec. 15 & 16, and University of Michigan had a deadline of Jan 15.

Most graduate programs make decisions/offers by April 15.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
