How to apply, doctoral studies, PhD students, open projects, NERC and other funding bodies
If you are interested in applying for a PhD in our Department, please direct your initial enquiry to the Graduate Tutor. If you are already interested in a specific topic, please direct your first contact to the named supervisor (or co-supervisor).
In either case, when you decide to complete an official UCL PhD application, please ensure that you also send a copy of your application simultaneously to the Department Graduate Tutor, for our internal records.

We are always pleased to hear from students themselves who may have a clear idea of what they wish to do for a PhD. The first course of action is normally to identify a member of staff whose expertise lies in the appropriate area and contact them directly. If you are unsure about who to contact, please contact the Departmental Graduate Tutor.
