- Notes
- Part-time PhD/DPhil in Politics for Michaelmas 2026. Intl based in the UK. Decision took all 10 weeks to arrive (admissions website says 8-10 weeks). I submitted on the due date. No interview (not customary for DPhil for Politics/IR afaik). Corresponded with a prospective supervisor. Double masters (Ivy and Oxbridge; 4.0 and Distinction) but unrelated to Politics/IR (prospective supervisor stated/cautioned how a relevant masters degree is something they’d like prospective students to have alongside research competencies). Final cycle recap: 1a/1r.
