A PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the most common type of doctoral degree and the highest level of academic qualification you can achieve.
It normally takes between three and four years of full-time work to complete. It is also possible to undertake a PhD part time, over five to six years.
The main activity of a PhD is to carry out an original research project under the direction of one or more supervisors, to be written up as a thesis.
Different routes to achieving a PhD
There are a number of ways to achieving a PhD at Imperial:
- by undertaking a course of study based on your own research proposal
- by joining a research project that comes with funding attached (known as a studentship)
- by combining it with Master's study in an integrated route that typically lasts four years
Pursuing your own research idea
To search for PhD opportunities based on your own research proposal you first need to identify a research group within Imperial whose area of expertise best matches your idea.
Use the links below to search the different PhD opportunities within our academic departments, centres and institutes. This includes information about current studentships and often guidance on finding a supervisor.
Our interdisciplinary approach means our expertise often spans departmental boundaries – and so do our courses – so you may find opportunities in an unexpected area of the university.

Joint Academy of Doctoral Studies | Imperial College London-Technical University of Munich
We have recently formed a strategic partnership in education, research and innovation with the Technical University of Munich, one of Germany’s most international and entrepreneurial universities, producing highly ranked research, like Imperial, in science, engineering and medicine.
As part of the partnership, Imperial and TUM have launched a 'Joint Academy of Doctoral Studies' with the aim of co-developing cross-disciplinary clusters of PhD students who will have access to world-leading academic supervisors and state-of-the art facilities at both institutions.
The first round of the programme will focus on the theme of 'Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare and Robotics'.

PhD studentships
If you're looking to get PhD funding for a specific research project or field of study, Doctoral studentships can provide you with either a partially or fully-funded PhD
Who awards PhD studentships?
PhD studentships are most commonly awarded by the UK's seven Research Councils in the form of Research Council grants , with research funding overseen by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) .
Individual UK universities also offer scholarships and bursaries to PhD students, while many professional bodies fund Doctoral research in collaboration with these academic institutions.
For instance, research awards are offered by the following engineering organisations:
- Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) - QUEST scholarships
- Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
- Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng)
Additionally, CASE studentships (formerly known as Cooperative Awards in Science and Engineering) can be part-funded by any non-academic body in partnership with the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) . These four-year PhDs require the student to work at the organisation for at least three months.
You can also apply for funded PhD opportunities through many charities, foundations and trusts, including:
- Action Medical Research
- Alzheimer's Society
- British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG)
- British Heart Foundation (BHF)
- Cancer Research UK
- Diabetes UK
- Rosetrees Trust - PhD Plus
- The Leverhulme Trust
- Wellcome Trust
Before you start applying for a funded PhD, it's always a good idea to discuss this with a prospective supervisor first, as they're often able to provide tips on maximising the likelihood of receiving financial support.
How much can I receive?
Many PhD studentships, including those offered by universities, professional bodies, or charities, foundations and trusts, provide three years' funding paid at a similar rate to the Research Council grant:
- Fees-only studentship - These cover a student's tuition fees, plus any associated project and training costs (a minimum of £4,786 per year in 2024/25).
- Full studentship - These add a non-repayable, tax-free maintenance grant known as a 'stipend'. In 2024/25, this is worth a minimum of £19,237 and it can be used towards living costs - see UKRI - Find studentships and Doctoral training .
For example, at The University of Manchester, the School of Social Sciences PhD studentship includes tuition fees for three-and-a-half years and a maintenance grant of £18,622 (2023/24 rate) per year for living expenses, plus associated research costs - such as fieldwork and attending conferences - from the Research Training Support Grant.
However, you should be aware that some PhD studentship recipients are required to teach undergraduates. While this provides an excellent opportunity to gain vital employability skills, it can also be hugely time-consuming. You must be satisfied that tutoring won't negatively affect the quality of your research before accepting your place.
Is my programme eligible for a PhD studentship?
PhD studentships can start at any time of the year, but most begin in September, October or January.
Certain types of PhD, for example professional Doctorates, may not be eligible for a PhD studentship. The same applies to part-time or distance learning options.
Am I eligible?
PhD studentships typically demand that applicants have a Bachelors degree at 2:1 or above, plus a relevant Masters degree or professional experience at that level of study.
Those who already possess a PhD are often ineligible, while some PhD studentships are limited to students fitting certain criteria - for example, those from a disadvantaged background, from a certain country or of a certain ethnicity.
If you're a European Union (EU) national, you'll need to have settled or pre-settled status under the government's EU Settlement Scheme to be eligible for student finance in this country - and this includes PhD studentships.
How do I apply for a PhD studentship?
The application process can be lengthy, and competition is fierce.
Some PhD students will be automatically considered for financial support once they've been accepted by an institution, but many are required to make separate PhD funding applications. These are usually made directly to the university - even for those studentships from Research Councils, professional bodies, or charities, foundations and trusts.
You'll typically be asked for your PhD application form, a research proposal , a cover letter and your references. After the institution has reviewed your application, you may be invited to interview.
Throughout this process, the university will scrutinise what you'll bring to the institution. Applicants at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), for example, are judged on:
- the quality of their research project and how it connects with research currently being undertaken at the institution
- how appropriate the supervisory team is
- their calibre, academic qualifications and academic/research experience
- whether the research can contribute towards the Research Excellence Framework (REF), meaning that interdisciplinary research will be preferred.
How do I increase my chances of getting a PhD studentship?
You can improve your chances of success by:
- asking a friend or family member to proofread your application
- carefully choosing your referees, ensuring that they'll speak positively of you
- discussing your draft application with a relevant academic
- explaining how your work will be unique and innovative
- following the funding body's guidance regarding word counts and formatting.
What other PhD funding is available?
If you're unsuccessful with your PhD studentship application, you could consider:
- crowdfunding
- employer sponsorship
- PhD loans .

Can you be a researcher? Professor Bhavik Patel reassures applicants of all backgrounds that they can study for a PhD and aim for a research career.
How do I apply for a PhD studentship?
The application for financing schemes will usually involve:
- submitting a full application through the university's PhD application portal, our University of Brighton portal is accessible from the PhD funded projects webpages . You will upload your research proposal as part of this process.
- The submission must include two letters of reference, academic qualifications, a proposed project approach, a personal statement and your CV (resumé).
- Shortlisted applicants are likely to be invited for interview.
What does PhD funding include?
The funding for the PhD usually covers the full fee and a stipend at the UKRI rate plus an allowance of £1,500 per year for researcher training for three years (or part-time equivalent).
Successful candidates benefit from expert supervisory teams, a programme of postgraduate researcher development workshops and membership of specialist, interdisciplinary research centres and groups. There will be introductions to a network of relevant researchers, careers advice and opportunities for interaction within and beyond the university. Through this, our PhD students have the best start possible towards ambitious careers that make use of their research degrees.
The University of Brighton fosters research careers and will provide doctoral training, attentive and expert supervision and access to world-class laboratories and equipment.
We are renowned as a leading applied university, with pioneer academics in disciplines from sport science to design history and applied science research that translates efficiently to the global challenge of worldwide health and wellbeing. Our strategy of 'practical wisdom' leads to real-world partnerships and beneficiaries across all disciplines while the development of community-university partnership practices have placed us among the best universities for many aspects of co-produced research and innovation.
We pride ourselves on the ways we work in partnership with those outside higher education, across the European Union and internationally. Through our research collaborations we work with a wide range of universities, both internationally and with universities in the UK. We are also founding members of two UKRI Doctoral Training Partnerships which, this year, are dealt with outside our University of Brighton studentship offer. We learn constantly from our involvement in these, and our rich resources are offered across all doctoral research programmes.
Recently the University of Brighton celebrated its performance in the Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) and the Knowledge and Exchange Framework (KEF2023). Over 87 per cent of our submitted impact case studies in REF2021 were rated as having 'outstanding' or 'very considerable' impact beyond academia. We are dedicated to developing this quality work with new students. Read more about the review of our research and knowledge exchange performance in REF2021 . Also, read more about our KEF2023 results, which placed Brighton in the top tier for economic and social benefits .
How will you build a relationship with your supervisor? Professor Annebella Pollen and Dr Tom Ainsworth are among those offering advice. This film was made by the University of Brighton for UKRI and also features academics from other institutions.
How do I increase my chances of getting a PhD studentship?
You must be able to show your suitability for a UK research degree if you wish to apply for fully-funded studentships.
This includes evidence either of a relevant and successful academic background or equivalent relevant professional/expert background in the applied subject area. Applicants from overseas will also have to fulfil any English language and visa requirements.
This will be true for studentships in the UK across most of the UK universities. It is usual for applicants either to have completed (or be about to complete) a masters degree, have an exceptional undergraduate record and references, or demonstrate the equivalent scholarly potential.
Supervisory staff and research students at the University of Brighton consider how important diverse thinking and inclusive practice are to their doctoral studies.
Can I get PhD funding at the University of Brighton?
We have a long-standing annual programme of funded PhD opportunities across all our disciplines, including several rooted in research council (UKRI) partnerships .
The initiatives allow postgraduate study for UK-based students as well as study in the UK for international students (depending on the PhD programme).
We are also keen to encourage students who might be able to self-fund their doctoral studies. Studying part-time, for example, is likely to prove more affordable and more easily balanced with professional life than you'd imagine.
We are dedicated to providing a welcoming and supportive atmosphere and structure for your studies. Show us your own qualities and your suitability for programmes as they become available and we will look forward to receiving your application.

A studentship is like a scholarship but for a research degree at the university, helping to fund your research project. Finance shouldn’t be a barrier to delivering world-leading research, that's why we run an annual fully funded PhD studentship competition, to recruit talented researchers from across the world.
Doctoral research that encourages change and produces real-world impacts is more important than ever. A doctoral degree is more than just a thesis: it is an opportunity to realise your potential as a researcher, to develop your passion and knowledge in a community that values progress. Get support for your research with a NTU Studentship.
Applications for our 2024 studentships have now closed. The scheme usually opens in October. Sign up for emails to be notified of the next release and to keep up to date with research funding.

Finding A PhD
Searching for PhD research projects can sometimes feel like daunting process. Often, it’s difficult to know where to find a PhD position or where to even start.
To make this searching process as easy as possible for you, we’ve curated a collection of the best places to search for PhD projects. By using our recommended collection, you should hopefully gain a greater insight into where your interests lie and which programme is best suited for you.
Our Comprehensive and Up-To-Date Directory
We can’t create a list of great resources and not include ourselves! At DiscoverPhDs, our primary aim is to connect great students to great PhD projects. To enable this, we provide a comprehensive database of PhD projects offered from universities all across the UK.
We regularly add to our database to ensure you’re getting the latest opportunities and the most relevant information and programme details. On top of this, we’ve created our database to be as easy to use as possible; all our PhD listings provide a direct ‘apply’ link or contact email address of the lead supervisor. This enables you to:
- Request further information about any aspect of the position,
- Enquire about the specific applications process,
- Connect directly with the supervisor
Universities Websites
Search on the website of the universities you are interested in as some many only be listing PhD research projects internally or may link you to other opportunities such as Professional Doctorate Programmes. As examples, have a look at the research pages of The University of Cambridge , Cardiff University , University of Leicester , Sheffield University and The University of Glasgow .
Your Current Supervisor
If you’re currently undertaking a research project or dissertation as part of your undergraduate or master’s degree, it would be a good idea to speak to your current supervisor. Not only would you have already built a good rapport with them, but having worked with you they will have a good idea on what PhD positions would utilise your strengths or best interest you. In fact, a noticeable percentage of past and current PhD students came into their PhD programme because of being recommended by their undergraduate supervisor. Your supervisor will be well-connected – make sure you take advantage of these opportunities.
Tip: Don’t just limit your discussion to your own personal supervisor. All supervisors are within their field of work because they have a natural passion for research and teaching. As such, most supervisors will be more than happy to help any student who wishes to follow in their footsteps and make their own impact.
Postgraduate Events
Nearly all universities hold regular Postgraduate Fairs and Open Days. As part of these events, current postgraduate students may be on hand to share their experiences of their projects and university. This is a fantastic opportunity to not only find out what PhDs the university is offering but to find out more about their facilities, research labs and library collection, etc. Given that you will be heavily relying on these resources during your PhD, it’s important that you know what’s provided by each university. Hearing student stories about what PhD life is really like, what to expect from supervisors and some of the challenges that current students have encountered can be really useful in your decision making process.
Besides the above, career advisers may also be available at these events. Speaking to them will help you understand what you can do with a PhD, whether a PhD is right for you, what degree class you’re expected to hold and how best to prepare for research projects. Seeing as they would have helped many PhD candidates through the decision-making process before, they will provide you with some invaluable insight that you would otherwise be oblivious to.
To help bring all Postgraduate Fairs and Open Days offered across all universities together, we’ve created a helpful Postgraduate Events page which we highly recommend you check out.
Research Councils
Research councils are nationally funded agencies which offer sponsored PhD research projects (also known as a PhD studentship). Different research councils cover different areas of research, these include:
- The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC),
- The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council ( BBSRC ),
- Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC),
- The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council ( EPSRC ),
- Natural Environment Research Council ( NERC ).
The GOV.UK website has a full list of nationally-funded research councils available online. You can find further details on these councils on the GOV.UK website.
Although our database includes PhD programmes offered by these research councils, it would be a good idea to regularly browse the website of the ones you are particularly interested in case they list some internal only. These councils play an important role in supporting and encouraging doctoral researchers and they regularly hold calls for applications for PhD funding. If you or your potential supervisor have a PhD project proposal defined but need funding, then applying to these calls may become a key first milestone in your postgraduate research journey.
For example, the EPSRC offers a Doctoral Training Partnership programme in which a research student is given funding to pursue postgraduate study with a research question that aligns with the Councils core engineering and physical sciences themes. These awards often have eligibility criteria linked to them, impacting which postgraduate research students can apply; an international student, for example, may not be able to apply to a certain UK based scholarship scheme but there are several other options that can still help you fund your doctoral research; this may involve taking out a postgraduate loan (or more specifically a postgraduate doctoral loan).
To make this searching process as easy as possible for you, we’ve curated a collection of the best places to search for a PhD. By using our recommended collection, you should hopefully gain a greater insight into where your interests lie and which programme is best suited for you.
Further Resources
As you continue your search of PhD research projects, be sure to check our our PhD advice articles, including how to prepare for your PhD application, and interviews with current and past doctoral students. Many of the people we’ve interviewed have completed degrees within a STEM discipline; they offer a wide range of advice on their individual approaches to applied research and independent study, as well as sharing some the impact their work has had. Many have continued the research of their projects within academia after finishing, whilst some have developed successful careers in industry and business sectors.
It’s worth noting that when you apply to undertake doctoral study, you may first be registered as an MPhil researcher, depending on the specific doctoral programme you apply for, officially become a full PhD student after passing an upgrade viva. At the upgrade stage, some students do decide to graduate with an MPhil research degree rather than pursuing further PhD study however this is less common.
We hope the above list will help you find the perfect PhD position and earn your doctoral degree.
If you have any recommendations besides these resources, please let us know at [email protected] so we can look to add it.

Fully-funded EPSRC PhD studentship available in Lancaster Data Science & AI Institute: Novel geospatial methods for combining data at multiple spatial and temporal scales in the context of historical disease mapping
Home status students only
With the advent of advanced technology, a vast amount of data has become available, making the integration of information across spatial and temporal scales increasingly crucial for understanding complex systems and making informed decisions. For instance, in environmental sciences, researchers often seek to understand the impact of climate change on ecosystems and biodiversity. To achieve this, data must be integrated from various spatial scales, ranging from local habitats to regional landscapes, and temporal scales, spanning decades or even centuries. Similarly, in epidemiology, the spread of infectious diseases is influenced by factors operating at different spatial and temporal scales. For example, the transmission of vector-borne diseases like malaria or dengue fever depends not only on local environmental conditions but also on global climate patterns and human mobility.
However, existing geospatial methods often fail to effectively account for the misalignment in time and/or space of data from multiple sources, with an increasing need of novel methods that are tailored to the characteristics and complexities of the data being integrated.
This research project aims to develop a novel geospatial modelling framework to address these challenges and improve the integration of data across different spatial and temporal scales in the context of historical disease mapping. This framework will then be applied to mapping, analysing, and interpreting sixteenth-century primary sources on diseases and epidemics, utilizing datasets and methods from the ESRC project Digging into Early Colonial Mexico. Epidemics, like the recent COVID-19, have had profound and enduring consequences throughout history. The application area of this project will be in the context of the introduction of diseases, like smallpox, during the Conquest of America that led to catastrophic declines in populations, with mortality rates reaching 97% in some regions. Traditional research methods struggle with the sheer volume, incompleteness, and uncertainty of historical data. In this project we will leverage advancements in machine learning, corpus linguistics, and geographic information sciences presents opportunities to explore vast historical collections and better address data variability and uncertainty. Specifically, the student will:
- Develop geospatial methods to extract and analyse and geographic information from ambiguous and uncertain descriptions of health and disease within textual records.
- Develop and apply spatio-methods capable that enable the identification of clusters of disease using uncertain data from historical records.
The successful applicant will be supervised by an interdisciplinary team consisting of experts from history, linguistics, statistics and geography.
Prospective candidates should have a first or upper second-class honours degree, or a combination of qualifications or experience equivalent to that level in a relevant subject.
For informal enquiries about the project please contact Duncan Whyatt ( [email protected] ), Patricia Murrieta-Flores ( [email protected] ) or Emanuele Giorgi ( [email protected] ).
To apply, please send a CV and cover letter demonstrating your motivation for the post to [email protected] . The closing date for applications is 15 th July 2024 and we anticipate a start date of October 2024 for the successful candidate.

Drawing from her experience of embarking on a PhD after working at the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), the UK's largest independent social research institute, Dr Chanfreau offers valuable insights.
Join hosts Alina and Keri as they and Jenny compare their journeys into PhD life, think about how to make the most of their new academic communities, and air some thoughts about the unique 'twilight' status of PhD researchers within universities - more professional than students but not quite fully-fledged staff - while discussing what universities can do to recognise and protect the contributions PhD researchers make to their department's operation.
And as you approach the end of your PhD, the big question arises: now what? The episode explores the challenges of job applications, potential visa stress for international scholars, and the skills needed to stay in academia. It also covers the importance of showcasing your research, exploring post-doctoral opportunities, and dealing with feedback or rejection - it can be emotional! The discussion includes how to process feedback constructively and the surprising usefulness of memes in navigating this journey.
Jenny's tip of the day
Work out your strengths from your professional past, and identify your own development needs.

UK universities
There are over 150 universities in the UK. The vast majority are public universities , meaning that they receive funding (including budgets for PhD studentships) from the UK Government. All British universities are free to pursue their own research objectives, but the amount of funding each institution receives is partly based on regular assessments of its performance as part of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) .
A small number of private universities also operate in the UK. They tend to specialise in specific subjects, such as Business or Law.
UK countries
The four parts of the UK each have slightly different higher education systems:
- England is home to the majority of the UK's universities, including the two oldest ( Oxford and Cambridge )
- Scotland is home to 15 of the UK's universities, including four 'ancient universities' ( St Andrews , Glasgow , Aberdeen and Edinburgh ) dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
- Wales has eight universities, all of which are public institutions, dating from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
- Northern Ireland has two universities, each of which operates multiple campuses
The governments of each part of the UK have powers to decide on higher education policy, including fees and funding. But, in practice, PhD research works pretty similarly across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The country that's best for you will depend on the research opportunities available at specific universities.
UK university groups
Some UK universities are organised – officially or unofficially – into different groups. Here are some of the more common ones you may come across, together with what they mean:
- The Russell Group is an association of 24 universities across the UK. The group is self-selecting (it decides on its own members) and positions itself as representing the country's leading research universities. In practice this is broadly accurate as the Russell Group includes some of the best ranked British universities and – perhaps more importantly – awards the majority of UK PhDs.
- The ancient universities are a group of seven institutions that date from the sixteenth century or earlier, including Oxford , Cambridge , St Andrews , Glasgow , Aberdeen and Edinburgh as well as Trinity College Dublin (in Ireland ). 'Membership' of this group isn't based on anything other than chronology (unsurprisingly, new universities can't join) and the ancient universities don't collaborate as such, though some are members of the Russell Group. Of more importance is the fact that some ancient universities award their doctorates as a DPhil rather than a PhD. The degree and its recognition are fundamentally the same.
- The red brick universities are another informal grouping based on history rather than collective organisation. They include nine civic universities founded during the nineteenth-century industrial revolution with the aim of providing education and training for their cities. In contrast to the medieval buildings of the ancient universities, their campuses were built largely from red brick – hence the name.
- The term 'post-92' is sometimes used to describe universities that were originally polytechnics (higher education institutions focussing on teaching and training rather than research) before being granted full university status in 1992. Many of these 'ex-poly' universities actually have long and proud histories and are now some of the UK's most innovative research centres.
There are a few other formal and informal groups, including 'plate glass' universities (founded in the 1960s – the UK has a thing for associating universities with building materials) as well as membership organisations for newer universities such as MillionPlus and GuildHE.
You don't generally need to worry about which group your prospective university is or isn't part of. It's true that some groupings confer a degree of prestige, but universities are invited into the Russell Group because of their research performance and reputation, not the other way around. There are also many excellent universities which haven't chosen to join particular associations.
Accreditation and research quality
The UK takes quality assurance for universities very seriously, with several levels of official recognition and accreditation.
The right to use a university title is protected by law in the UK and can be granted by royal charter, Act of Parliament or similarly official means.
The right to award degrees is also protected. A university must either be a 'recognised body', in which case it can award its own degrees. Or it must be a 'listed body' in which case a recognised body must award degrees on its behalf (listed bodies are often newer universities or specialist colleges with qualifications accredited by more established neighbouring universities).
You can use the UK Government website to quickly check if a university is officially recognised .
UK universities' research quality is separately monitored through an exercise known as the Research Excellence Framework (REF) . This examines the research a university is producing as well as its impact on society in general. The environment and support provided for PhD students is also considered as part of this process. The most recent REF results were published in 2021.
UK university cities
There are excellent universities located across the UK, from London and the South of England to the Scottish Highlands and Islands . With that said, here are a few of the UK's most popular student cities:
- Study in London
- Study in Edinburgh
- Study in Manchester
- Study in Cardiff
- Study in Birmingham
- Study in Sheffield
How to apply for a PhD in the UK
You should apply directly to a university for a place on a UK PhD project or programme. There are two ways to do this:
- Some PhD projects are advertised by universities with set aims and objectives. These are most common in STEM subjects and often have funding attached. You can browse UK PhD adverts here on FindAPhD.
- Other PhD projects are designed by students who put forward a research proposal for the work they would like to do. These are more common in Arts, Humanities and some Social Science subjects. You can browse UK PhD programmes to apply within here on FindAPhD.
It's often a good idea to contact a prospective PhD supervisor before applying, but this isn't usually a necessary step. Universities will usually pair students with the most appropriate supervisor for their project.
We’ve written dedicated guides to applying for a PhD in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences , as well as STEM subjects.
Admissions requirements
You will normally need the following to be accepted for a PhD in the UK:
- A suitable undergraduate degree (equivalent to a UK 2.1 or higher). A Masters may also be required in some subject areas.
- Evidence of language proficiency (if English is not your first language).
- Evidence that you possess the necessary materials to gain a UK student visa (for international students).
- Other application materials including a research proposal , personal statement or references .
Actual requirements vary between projects and programmes.
Not all UK PhD applications require a formal interview , but this is more common for funded positions or programmes with limited space.
Interviews can often be conducted online. You may be asked to answer some questions about your application and / or give a short presentation on your intended research.
Inidan qualifications in the UK
In July 2022, the UK and Indian governments signed a memoradum agreeing to automatically recognise undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in each other's countries. This means that if you studied your Bachelors or Masters in India and are now applying for a UK PhD, your qualifications will recognised as equivalent to British ones.
It also means that it will be easier for you to seek work in India with a PhD from a UK university!
