Departmental Teaching Assistantships

Paid opportunities to teach during your PhD. Share your knowledge and research with our undergraduate and postgraduate students, and gain valuable teaching experience.

The department offers many opportunities for teaching alongside your PhD study. The duties of a Teaching Assistant include seminar teaching and coursework/examination marking. If awarded a departmental Clara Collet scholarship, you will be required to undertake some teaching in return for the award. Other students are eligible for paid teaching assistant roles in the department, which are advertised annually. Clara Collet-funded students may also be eligible for additional paid teaching, with the agreement of their supervisors.

Please note these are part-time roles only and are not guaranteed to be available. They therefore cannot be relied upon as the sole source of funding for your PhD. More information on teaching at UCL as a PhD student can be found at the UCL Postgraduate Teaching Assistant Hub.
