Engineering Sciences UCL

Overview

You’ll gain access to the world-class research capacities and infrastructure at both universities and receive excellent supervision by two academics (one at each institution). You will receive two certificates after your graduation: one from each university.

Key Facts

The Double UCL-UC Chile PhD degree is a specialist and international research course spanning two top institutions.

You’ll gain the core skills and knowledge needed to operate at the forefront of your chosen field. What’s more, as the first double PhD launched by UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences, it represents an opportunity for candidates to conduct cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary research. This approach ensures that you achieve deep domain-specific expertise while developing into an individual who can resolve problems using a range of tools and methods and be confident in your ability to work effectively with experts in a range of global settings.

Delivered in English (including meetings, writing of the thesis), the PhD course has a duration of four years (48 months) full-time. You’ll spend time across both institutions working on a research project of your design that falls with within any discipline at UCL and within the scope of disciplines covered by the School of Engineering at UC Chile.
