Application tips
- The official Nottingham page still shows the 2026/27 cycle — confirm the 2027/28 call before relying on the 19 January 2027 date.
- The pattern matches York (20 January) and UCL (8 January) Wolfson deadlines.
- Do not carry the 2026/27 deadline (27 January 2026, passed) forward.
- Verify the 2027/28 amount before publishing — the £111,750 figure is labelled ESTIMATE from the prior cycle.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
