How to Apply 

Applicant for the DDent can apply online

All prospective applicants, except those applying for advertised studentships, are encouraged to send an informal research enquiry. This should either be sent directly to the academic you are interested in working with or the Research Student Administrator.

Making a research enquiry helps define your interests, contributes to making your application successful and also serves to ensure the identification of the best possible supervisor for your needs. Read about our different departments.

Some of our applicants wish to submit their own research proposal. If you wish to do so, please make sure that first you identify a suitable supervisor with the correct expertise. If you are unsure, please contact the Research Student Administrator.
