There are lots of ways to find information and support whilst you are part of SAMBa. You will be supported throughout your PhD from the moment you accept an offer with us.
The SAMBa management team will provide guidance throughout the application and interview process and will respond to your queries. On the interview day itself, you will meet a range of current students and you will also have the opportunity to meet with academics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
From the moment you accept your offer from SAMBa you will become part of the student cohort. Before starting on the programme itself, you will be invited to a selection of SAMBa events and activities and will be assigned a co-factor and first year supervisor to help you settle into the department.
You will be supported throughout your time with SAMBa:
