Easy to miss

The programme does not publish a single class-year minimum, so it remains in the role-specific group rather than being assigned to all four year buckets.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Use a laboratory course or quantitative project to show how you record observations, question results, and revise a method. Label course work honestly.

Compare the support package with travel and living costs. Ask what is provided directly and what requires reimbursement after arrival.
