PhD/MPhil Research Degrees

Introduction.

The Department of Computing at Imperial College is an internationally leading research institution which offers an exciting research environment for prospective postgraduate students. It has consistently been awarded the highest research rating (5*) in the UK Research Assessment Exercises, including the most recent one held in 2001, and was rated as "Excellent" in the most recent national assessment of teaching quality. The Times Higher Education Supplement recently rated Imperial as the best in Europe and fourth best in the world for technology (see extract ).

Financial Support

The funding details are different for UK, European and Overseas students.

UK Students and Students Eligible for EPSRC Funding

Each year the Department has a number of EPSRC funded DTA studentships which are awarded to suitably qualified research students. These pay for the College fees and provide a bursary for the student's living expenses:

Fees: £3,168 per year Bursary: £13,200 per year

European Students

The current situation is that the Department has some scholarships to fund the fees for suitably qualified European students. The student or supervisor has to find the funding for the bursary. It is not likely that this situation will change in the foreseeable future.

Fees: £3,168 per year Bursary: £13,200 per year (for EU students that fulfill "residency" requirements)

Overseas Students

Scholarships.

Please see Scholarships and Awards for other funding opportunities, in particular the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards. Through its Industrial Liaison Unit, the Department is able to offer enhanced PhD scholarships to selected students. These are supported through generous donations from industrial sponsors. They are allocated early in the first year of study and are tenable for up to 3 years and renewed on an annual basis. The criteria for award and financial value differ between scholarships and are publicised at the start of the selection process.

Please note that the Department does not provide funding for either tuition fees or maintenance. There are sometimes Scholarships available through the Department, College, or individual supervisors. Opportunities for Fellowships, Teaching Assistantship (TA) and Research Assistantship (RA) posts are not that frequent and you would need to refer to www.doc.ic.ac.uk/about/situationsvacant/ on a regular basis to see what positions are available.

How to Apply

Applications are welcome for 2008/ 09 session (entry 2008)

We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates. Competition is very strong for places, and applicants are required to have a good MSc degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Mathematics or some IT-related discipline. Candidates who have a BSc degree only will not be considered. Additionally, applicants need to demonstrate strong research potential. Where appropriate, we may encourage applicants to register first for the MSc in Advanced Computing and then, upon successful completion of this, to apply for registration for a research degree. The MSc course includes special research-oriented provisions for students intending to take this route.

To increase your chances of acceptance and to facilitate the processing of your application, please:

  • indicate in your application the general research areas and topics that interest you, and potential supervisors for your research in the Department.
