Incoming cohort/students within their first 6 months

Where do I find information about this week’s training?
Information regarding the training weeks will be available on the DTP UCL eXtend page (add link). The DTP office also aims to email the schedule to students directly a week in advance. Please contact the team if you have any queries.

What are the DTP’s rules regarding employment alongside the PhD?
UKRI-NERC advise that PhD students are permitted to do a small element of paid work outside the academic sector, as long as it does not affect their ability to complete their PhD on time. The amount of time is at the student’s and their supervisor’s discretion, but it is recommended that this is no more than six hours in any week. If you have not yet been allocated your project, the DTP directors will be required to give you permission.

Please note: Students in full-time employment are not eligible for a stipend of any kind from UKRI. A Student in part time employment may be eligible for a part time award, which should not be less than 50% of full time.

I need proof of my studentship, where can I get this?
For UCL students, you should be able to access confirmation of funding through your portico record, along with a statement of student status. For those students who are not based at UCL, please contact your individual universities to provide similar documentation. If you have any further queries, please contact the DTP office.  If you are a new student who has not yet enrolled, then your DTP offer letter can be used.
