Visiting PhD Students
The School is glad to host visiting PhD students on an ad hoc basis. This applies to doctoral research students who are pursuing studies at another institution, but wish to be based in SEF for part of their degree in order to undertake doctoral research work.
The minimum period of registration is two months and the maximum is one year.
**Please allow up to four weeks for application to be processed, where possible you should give at least three months’ notice prior to application.**
The University charges an application fee. No further fees are charged by the School.
How to apply
Students should have the support of an academic member of staff in SEF who is willing to act as a primary point of contact during your visit. To apply, please first email an expression of interest to: econ-phd-enquiries@qmul.ac.uk. You will be asked to apply via the QMUL Admissions Portal (please allow a few weeks for Admission to process your application). All successful applications must receive approval from the Director of Graduate Studies.
Facilities
Visiting PhD Students are registered by the college as Associate Students. You will have access to the same range of facilities as standard PhD students including:
- SEF resources and activities, including attendance at School conferences, research seminars and reading groups
- QMUL library (Mile End)
- Senate House Library (Russell Square)
- Electronic resources
Desk space is usually available but cannot be guaranteed. In case fixed desk space is unavailable, we will provide hot-desking in PhD and Staff offices.
Visiting PhD Students are not entitled to apply for funding for travel grants and conferences or studentships of any kind.
