Important information for all applicants for a PhD studentship at CRM How to apply for a PhD programme How you apply for your PhD will depend on how it is funded. If you wish to pursue a self-funded research degree, you'll need to identify a supervisor, develop a research proposal and source your own funding. Application processes for funded studentships and research projects vary and details will be clarified on adverts of advertised PhD projects. The majority of postgraduate students commence their studies in September/October for induction scheduling purposes. Before submitting an application, please ensure you meet all of the requirements to gain entry onto the programmes (including English language and minimum academic qualifications).
