How to Apply

If you are a current student you can find information relating to studying for an MPhil/PhD on our Moodle page.

For the majority of PhD programmes, you will need to have a research topic, supervisor and funding confirmed before submitting an application. Take a look at our list of principal investigators to find out about their research fields and contact them directly regarding PhD positions that they offer. For more information see UCL's guide for applying for a research programme. 

We advise that you apply as early as possible due to competition for places. Those applying for scholarship funding (particularly overseas applicants) should take note of application deadlines.
