Application checklist
- Choose up to three EPSRC-facing projects from the Exeter catalogue
- Submit one application per project (maximum three projects)
- Submit by midday Tuesday 8 December 2026
- Check official page for project-specific academic entry and residency eligibility
Application tips
- Use all three project slots if your profile fits more than one project — the scheme is project-led and you may apply for up to three.
- Residency and fee-status rules are the hidden filter: funding covers fees at the Home rate, so international applicants should confirm any fee gap before applying.
- The December deadline is midday, not midnight — submit the morning before to be safe.
- Projects in this catalogue include scientific machine learning and graph neural networks, so computing-strong engineering applicants should look beyond the pure engineering titles.
