PhD Scholarships in Chemical Sciences at University College London

Applications are invited for our three year research programmes leading to the degree of PhD.

The department deadline for recommending the applicants for scholarships for overseas students for 2009 entry is 1 March 2009 so you should aim to submit your application by the middle of February to give it time to be considered and processed.

Competition is extremely high for the overseas scholarships so you will need to have the equivalent of a first class honours degree from a recognized university. You should have achieved the standard level on the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) which would be an overall grade of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each of the subtests.


The Department performed very impressively in the latest RAE appraisal with every submission being ranked as internationally recognized or better which means that even members of staff that are in the very beginning of their career are world class.

Prospective candidates are expected to contact members of the academic staff working in their fields of interest via. http://www.chem.ucl.ac.uk/people/acadstaff.html

Our main research activities are in the following areas:Chemical Biology
Chemical Physics
Chemical Magnetism
