Postgraduate research

Postgraduate research programmes

We are always keen to hear from students who are interested in studying for a PhD with us. We routinely submit projects to the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience’s central PhD studentship call and are happy to talk to prospective applicants about these. We also often have funded studentships relating to specific projects. 

In addition to funded studentships, we are also happy to hear from prospective students who would like to work with us to develop a new funding application or who may have access to funds of their own (for example via self-funding, funding from your employer or funding from some other source). Staff in all the Academic Psychiatry departments have a broad range of interests and all of our research groups are interested in hearing from potential PhD students who might like to develop a project. If you have your own idea for a project, or if you are interested in a particular topic that touches on what we do, please do get in touch with our admissions tutors.

If you are interested in pursuing a self-funded PhD with us, you should look at our information on how to apply. Please also make sure you are happy with the likely costs involved, both in terms of your tuition fees and also the costs of living in London.
