Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key phrase here is « Student Applicant ID »: without that number, the final questionnaire cannot be completed, so the first move is not to draft materials but to secure the identifier as soon as you open the application link. Then read the programme entry requirements before going further, because the notice makes clear that the application is a two-step process and that admission also depends on that baseline. The project welcomes varied academic routes, but you should prepare clear evidence that you can work across biology, computing, or engineering, because that is where the real selection happens. Secure the identifier first, then the questionnaire, then your availability for the placements.
