Overview

Our exciting new PhD programme is a critical part of this vision providing doctoral training to create a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers, thinkers and innovators.

Our PhD programme is a critical part of this vision providing doctoral training to create a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers. We advise you on developing research projects that are cogent, innovative and which integrate combinations of sciences, arts and societies.

We provide you with supervision including where necessary seeking out specialist supervisors from across UCL, and we support you in acquiring training that will facilitate your research. The Interdisciplinary Societies, Arts and Sciences programme is offered by University College London (UCL).

The foundation of your career

However, it is expected that graduates of this programme will go on to positions in academia as well as careers across a multitude of sectors.

Due to the unique interdisciplinary nature of the PhD, and depending on the student’s subject area, this could create new opportunities within the arts, humanities, health and physical and social science industries, likely to increase career options for graduates.

Throughout the PhD programme, students will be supported to explore their career opportunities and engage with employability activities.

Employability

UCL is ranked 9th in the 2024 QS World University Rankings and our graduates seek careers in research, teaching, consultancy and management, in university settings and beyond.

For students with academic ambitions, we will help them to apply for postdoctoral research fellowships. Supervisors and training will help identify professionalisation opportunities and pathways to the academic job market. Teaching and conference opportunities will normally be available.

With the advantage of having interdisciplinary training, graduates are likely to have opportunities in government, NGO and corporate settings. An interdisciplinary doctorate provides training in several disciplines and in communicating across disciplines, creating an advantage towards such positions. Support for such careers will be provided during the programme.

Programme Structure

You will participate in a doctoral student seminar series entitled Research for Interdisciplinary Studies which will consist of a weekly topic-based seminar.

At this seminar, doctoral students will be introduced to the formal requirements of doctoral study; to the theoretical and methodological approaches which frame interdisciplinary research and research design, and, where appropriate, to professionalisation into academia.

Arts and Sciences will also host regular interdisciplinary research seminars involving a range of contributions, including external speakers, internal speakers, work in progress staff sessions and project testing sessions.

There will be an annual away day that postgraduate research candidates will be invited to.

This will introduce candidates not only to intellectual discussion but also to the organisational and professional context of UK higher education.
