Hi_what Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hello people! I've applied for high energy physics-pheno/theory to 13 universities. I'd organised keeping in mind the ambitious-moderate-safe thing, but now I'm worried if I overestimated myself. My list might have been too ambitious, what if I don't have any safe ones? If I don't get in anywhere, I'd like to have a backup plan. Maybe like apply to places in Europe with later deadlines. Could you suggest a few places for hep with deadlines after the results of the current applications come out? At the moment, I don't think I can apply to any more because I am depressed and waiting to get better. It would be a huge help, thanks in advance.

I know in psych - different field - PhD applications open up as soon there is 'money'. So that means any time during the year really. EU may not be 'easier' as I know there's a slight preference for EU citizens due to the grants students can apply to as well during their PhD (i.e., a Dutch PhD student in NL can apply to more sources of money than a non-EU or even another EU applicant).

lemma Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I know this is vague, but if you can find theory groups affiliated with cern in Europe, you will be in a sweet position if they have funding. I worked at cern once upon a time and there were a surprisingly high number of theoreticians on site. Have you considered study at the perimeter institute? Had some friends who went through there for masters (pre PhD) and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemma Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 ^ to add, perimeter apps close in a month, so you have a fair bit of time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokePsych Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Also note that for a PhD in Europe you're usually required to have a (research) Master's. They're generally attained seperately from the PhD. Carly Rae Jepsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
