Applicants

We are aware of applicants’ concerns and issues about the Situational Judgment Tests used for this year’s Scientist Training Programme recruitment. There have been a series of problems with the third-party platform that we use to deliver these tests. These problems have affected applicants’ ability to undertake the tests and they have also led us to question the efficacy of the test results. Therefore, in the interests of fairness, we have decided that we should discontinue the use of the Situational Judgement Tests. We will NOT take into account the results of tests completed so far, and we will NOT rely on the tests as part of the selection process.
