The UCL EPSRC DTP studentships aims to recruit outstanding students to undertake fully funded PhD projects at UCL. All studentships are fully funded for 4 years. They provide: 4 years fees (Home rate), maintenance stipend at the UCL EPSRC DTP enhanced rate, and Research Training Support Grant (RTSG). This is to cover additional costs of training e.g. courses, project costs, conferences, travel. For overseas fee status students, a UCL award covers the fee difference between the Home and international fee rate. Students will be registered for 4 years and are expected to submit their thesis within the 4-year funded period. The project should be designed and supervised to facilitate this. For part time students, the stipend and duration will be adjusted pro-rata (e.g. a 50% FTE student will receive 50% of stipend for up to 8 years).
