Project entries

Newly registered project entries are not available in the public area until the following data has been entered:

Project entries and advertisers are registered with FindAPhD for 12 months and will automatically be hidden from the public area of FindAPhD after this time and may subsequently be deleted.

Advertiser's general department descriptions are not available on the public area of FindAPhD if no project entries are viewable in the public area.

Project entries appear on the public area of FindAPhD when they have a valid application deadline (i.e. a future date or 'applications accepted all year round').

Advertisers can change any of their project entry details (except department name and the first supervisor's name) at any time during the registration period.

Project entries must:

• Contain details of a supervisor’s single defined research project.

FAU reserve the right to remove without notice any project entries on FindAPhD which breach one or more of the above Terms and Conditions. No refunds will be given in these circumstances.
