How to Apply

Application Process

Within this programme, PhD applicants will work with named researchers across the relevant disciplines on a proposal that fits within the overall programme.  Applicants should have a good honours degree (normally at least a 2.1 or equivalent in a relevant subject - which will include physics, maths, computer science as well as law, social science and the humanities), preferably also a Masters qualification, and a strong commitment to interdisciplinary approaches.

Outlines of the Research Proposals are posted within the Projects section.  Applicants are strongly advised to make contact with their potential supervisor to develop their ideas about how they would contribute to the proposed project.  The application should detail the particular contribution that the potential doctoral scholar would make to the proposed project, how this would fit into the wider themes of the programme.  

For any additional information, please contact us at linas@qub.ac.uk.

All applications should be made through the Queen's Portal (below) and directed to the School where the Primary Supervisor is based.
