Project Areas and Ideas for Postgraduate Study in IMNS 

This page offers up both general project areas and specific opportunities within the Institute. We are delighted to receive enquiries regarding PhD, MPhil and MSc study in any and all of these areas as we are very keen to build up our postgraduate student numbers and activity.
Postgraduates are the lifeblood of our research, with more time to spend on research (and generally younger, fitter braincells than their academic supervisors).

Individual academics may be contacted by email as shown in the list of research areas below.

We will respond to such approaches as soon as possible, but we would encourage you to consult the Graduate School's Web Page and complete a postgraduate application form as soon as your interest becomes serious and firm.  

We receive too many emailed CVs (a form of email "Spam" !) to deal with them sensibly and we cannot assess applications properly without the answers to the carefully-crafted questions on the application form.
If you are seeking funding for postgraduate study, say so on the application form.
If you are eligible for funding sources at our disposal, we will consider you for them automatically.

If you can identify funding, or partial funding from sources outside this Institute, we will be better able to consider offering you a place. The Graduate School Web pages offer a discussion of funding sources as well as the answers to some Frequently-Asked Questions.

As stated on the School's Postgraduate pages, we would encourage you to make your expression of interest as detailed and clear as you can. "I will work hard at any project that you give me" is a phrase does not give us confidence that the applicant (i.e. you) has the strong and identifiable research interest that makes for a good postgraduate student.
