Applicant Webinars

You can join us for an online applicant webinar on 18th November 2026 at 1200 (UK GMT – UTC+0). This is being organised as part of the University of Edinburgh’s Postgraduate Virtual Open Days, and you need to register via this webpage: https://app.geckoform.com/public/#/modern/21FO00qhtkhbw1005i9syz4l74

Browse to “Computing and Informatics”, and you will see our session on the list that appears.

We are also scheduling additional applicant webinars organised by the CDT. We will add these to this webpage when registration is open.

In the meantime, you can review recordings of webinars from previous years below. Please note that the application process has changed for the 2027 studentship competition compared to previous years. However, key information related to the scope of the CDT, its ethos, and broadly what we look for in applications is the same.also
