UCL EPSRC DTP - 2024/25 project catalogue

This catalogue lists all the projects available for applicants to the UCL EPSRC DTP for 2024/25. See the main website for details on how to apply.

Important: The round 1 deadline has passed. The deadline for round 2 applications is 13:00 UK on 06 May 2024. Round 2 is for Home status candidates only. Applications will only be considered if there are remaining places available after all round 1 offers have been made. Some projects state “Under offer” in their summary page. This means that an offer has been made to a candidate who applied to this project. The project will only be available to other candidates if they reject their offer or withdraw. It is not possible to predict whether a project under offer is likely to become re-available, nor to provide any information on the timing of this as candidates may decide to withdraw at any time even after accepting an offer made to them.

Note: Where unavoidable, the UCL EPSRC DTP reserves the right to withdraw projects from the catalogue before or after the application deadline. Candidates who have applied to a project that has been withdrawn will be informed as soon as possible.

How to use the catalogue

Each project has its own summary page. All projects have a lead UCL department shown in their summary. Some projects also have a collaborating department if they are interdisciplinary projects. Each project also has a lead supervisor shown in their summary. All students recruited to UCL will also be supported by additional members of a supervisory team - for some projects this may be detailed in the summary, for other it will be finalised after a student begins. Project summaries also contain links to the lead department’s UCL webpage, so you can read more about the department, and the lead supervisor’s UCL profile page (for the majority of supervisors), so you can read more about the lead supervisor.

You can browse the catalogue by research theme - this will give you a list of all projects available within the research theme. Each research theme page has a link to the theme’s summary page on the EPSRC website so that you can read more about the theme and the kind of research it covers. Clicking on a research theme name within a project summary will take you to a list of all projects with that research theme.

Or you can browse the catalogue by lead department - this will give you a list of all projects available within the department. Note that for interdisciplinary projects, they will only be listed within their lead department. Clicking on a department name within a project summary will take you to a list of all projects with that lead department.

You can also browse a list of all the DTP-CASE projects. These projects all have an industrial collaborator and include a placement spent at the collaborator’s premises.
