Projects available for candidates to apply to for the 2025-2026 intake will be added below once recruitment opens. 

Each project has a supervisor based at Queen Mary, and engagement from Industry, including the option for a placement. The level of industry engagement varies depending on the nature of the project. We suggest you review each project description to learn more about the proposed research. Once you have identified your top project, you can submit an application via the Apply page. Note, you will be asked to identify your chosen project, and a maximum of 1 other project; you cannot apply for more than 2 projects, so we recommend you consider your choice carefully, ensuring what it is the right fit for you and your research aspirations.

Points to consider when reviewing projects:

  • Is the project a good fit for my research experience to-date, and my research interests?
  • Do I have the necessary background knowledge, or could I reasonably acquire this through targeted training on the programme?
  • What attracts me to this project, and which part of the project most excites me?
  • Does the supervisory team seem a good fit for me, and what makes me want to work with them?
