The ONE Planet DTP values individual differences and the diversity that this brings. We ensure that no-one is at a disadvantage because of who they are. We encourage applications from under-represented groups, and requests for flexible study (e.g. part-time) are welcomed.
The closing date for applications is 24th January 2022. We will confirm the outcome of awards in March 2022.
Please visit our how to apply pages for further details on how you apply to either partner institution.
