Why was my PhD application unsuccessful?
Due to the physical and logistical limit to the number of students we are able to teach and accommodate we are not able to make offers to all applicants. It was deemed that your application was not ranked highly enough in comparison with those of other applicants with similar achievements. This was not based on just one aspect, but the application as a whole, taking into account your academic achievements (both undergraduate and postgraduate level), your personal statement, the institution ranking, your references and your research proposal amongst other things.
I am sorry for any disappointment that this may cause, however we do hope that you are able to find a place at another institution that suits you.
Regards,
The Research Team
