1. Project selection

2. 20-27 February Project proposals available Students discuss projects with supervisors Select at least two Rank them in order of preference Supervisor does the same By whatever means they choose

3. 28 February - 7 March ”Perfect-marriage" allocation algorithm run at 0300 each day If a pair of student and project have ranked each other as their first choice then as long as the supervisor has not reached his/her quota, the project is allocated to the student This in turn can trigger new perfect matches

4. 10 March Allocations which are not "perfect- marriages" are effected students' preferences have greater weight than the supervisors’ No student will be allocated a project unless they have ranked it

5. 11 March onwards The database is reopened with the remaining (hopefully very few) students
