HetSys PhD Project Proposal - Advert

Project Advertisement Submission – Deadline: Monday 2nd November

To help potential applicants compare projects more easily, our student focus groups have recommended a consistent format for all advertisements. Therefore we’ve provided a standard form for you to complete by Monday 2nd November to ensure we can maximise our advertising time.

Please include the following:

  • A catchy and informative project title
  • A 100-word project outline, written to be accessible to final-year science undergraduates
  • A suitable image to illustrate your project (dimensions: 1170 × 375 pixels). Please note that student feedback has been largely negative regarding the use of AI-generated images.
  • A recent biography or a link to your University profile page

If your project is funded but you haven’t yet received formal confirmation by the deadline, we’d still appreciate receiving the completed form. We will hold off on advertising until the funding outcome is known.

Following the success of last year’s project videos, we’re planning to record short, informal clips (1–2 minutes) of supervisors talking about their projects. These will be filmed in offices or campus spaces and shared on social media to help widen the pool of potential applicants. We’ll be in touch shortly with suggested content and filming dates.

As in previous years, we’ll also be running a focus group with current HetSys students to help refine and target our advertisements more effectively.
