Postgraduate training

Postgraduate research students

iBEST staff offer supervisory opportunities for prospective students that wish to undertake a research programme of study. (Such research programmes are quite distinct from taught Master's programmes - that are not part of the research institute remit and are described elsewhere.)

Pre-identified research projects for prospective students interested in working towards a postgraduate award (MSc by Research, MPhil or PhD) within iBEST are listed below. In the case that you are interested, then do not apply direct to iBEST but apply via the Research Graduate School using the 'How to Apply' link below.

Prospective students interested in working at iBEST on other project areas should also apply via the Research Graduate School - but the response will take longer since each project must be individually assessed.

NOTE Potential applicants need to secure funding before making an application.
