Student Representatives

The management board invites two student representatives from each cohort to relay student issues and feedback to the board, and help ensure that the DTP remains responsive to student needs. The Management Board is responsible for monitoring and supporting the management and strategy underlying the DTP, and board meetings are held regularly at UCL.

New representatives are elected in September each year. Students in the first, second or third year of their PhD may nominate themselves to be student representative, who will be selected by a student vote.

Please note the Student Representatives can make representation for all the cohorts and not just their respective year group.
