Two applications to different departments at same uni. But: One professor is affiliated with both departments I would like to apply for PhD programs in two different departments, but at the same uni. I am interested in both fields, but not in the overlap between the two. Generally, this shouldn't be a problem. However, there is a professor associated with both departments. Could this turn out to be a problem? How would you deal with this?
If you've submitted two different applications and they each specify what you're interested in working on, this shouldn't be an issue.
