Funding for PhD students

 
There are a number of options for funding PhD studies, but the first step, even before considering applying for a particular research grant, is to find a supervisor who is willing to accept you as part of his or her research unit. You can identify teams working in your research field via the thematic brochures or the “UCL research inventory” tool. We also suggest you browse the web pages of the UCL Research Institutes and Research Centres.
 
Once you’ve made contact with your future UCL supervisor, you can commence the admission procedure. In other words, before applying to study for a PhD, the applicant must first find a supervisor. Admission procedures cannot be undertaken without a supervisor.
Once you’ve been accepted to study for a PhD, you can identify any financing schemes for which you may be eligible. UCL's Euraxess Service Centre will be able to assist you with your decision-making process and can also help you prepare your application in certain cases.
 
UCL also awards a limited number of PhD grants to doctoral students from developing countries, based on a competitive examination.
 
Check out the following web pages too: 
  • The "Funding a PhD" page, published by the Research Department (ADRE).
  • The brochure entitled "Le financement de la recherche à l'UCL " (Funding research at UCL) is published by the Research Department (ADRE) in association with the International Relations Department (ADRI). This describes the main sources of funding, research projects, researcher posts, doctorates and researcher mobility. Wherever possible, it stipulates the access criteria for these sources to facilitate the decision-making process.
