Places for September 2014 intake now released



http://www.mat.qmul.ac.uk/news/



We have now released fully funded PhD places for September 2014 start – the application deadline is 31st January 2014.

Find out how to apply



You are required to hold a 1st at degree or distinction at masters level in a related field OR, in exceptional circumstances, a very high standard of work/practice experience may be a substitute.



You need to provide:

◦statement of interest – 2 side maximum on why you want to do our PhD

◦CV

◦Research Proposal – 10 sides maximum on your research interests, this gives us an idea on what you would ideally research and what you know about the research done in that area, but on our programme your actual topic does not get fixed until a year into the PhD.

◦2 x academic references (just 1 and 1 x work related reference it was a long time since your studies)



All of these documents must be uploaded to the online application system.



Ours is partly a taught program so it doesn't suit everyone, you spend the whole of the first year in fact on internship and doing taught modules - let us know if you have specific questions via:
