PhD research

UCL has a wide range of experienced staff with strong supervision records who will be happy to supervise PhDs in their areas of expertise. Staff happily respond to direct contact by prospective PhD applicants. It is good to do this sooner rather than later. Students seeking funding will need to have well-developed proposals by early in the January before they plan to start the PhD. They will ideally have contacted prospective supervisors before this point. Students are admitted by particular Departments or Schools. The deadlines for PhD funding and applications therefore vary, so specific deadlines should be checked by clicking in the relevant areas:
