Subject: MPhil/PhD application - additional documents for the file Dear Postgraduate Research Admissions, My MPhil/PhD application to Politics and International Studies for September 2026 entry currently shows no decision, and I am writing only to add two short documents to the file: a two-page research progress note recording material added to my research corpus since submission, and a one-page statement of the publications the doctorate would produce. Both are attached and uploaded to the portal; nothing in the original application has changed. If it would be appropriate, may I approach a named academic in the department directly to discuss supervisory fit, and if so, is there a preferred route for doing that while an application is open?
