Benefits of an interdisciplinary PhD

This interdisciplinary research will provide you with opportunities for collaborative working within UASc, Departments across UCL and externally. We will encourage students to apply a range of qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods and creative approaches to their interdisciplinary research. 

This will facilitate interactions between established and emerging researchers, and offer interdisciplinary research training, research communication and career development opportunities for early stage researchers and research students.

Stimulating research environment 

PGR students will be provided through the Arts and Sciences Department which is split-site being located at our new UCL East campus on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and at the UCL Bloomsbury campus.
