UK #1 for research power
Research Excellence Framework 2021Our research degrees by department
Supervised by internationally respected academic staff, our institutes and schools offer a variety of programmes that enable you to undertake substantial, in-depth research and make an original contribution to your field.
How to apply for postgraduate research
Funded studentships
You can find funded studentships within the Faculty on the UCL Studentships page.
Speculative opportunities
If you can’t find a studentship in a research project that interests you, the best way to find a PhD project is to approach a potential supervisor directly. If you’re an exceptional student who meets our entrance requirements, then we encourage you to identify opportunities with our academics whose recent research closely matches your interests.
