When completing the Graduate Admissions application form, in the 'Supporting Documents' section entitled 'Statement of purpose/research proposal/personal statement', applicants must list in order of preference up to four research projects from the projects advertised below. Normally, each lead supervisor of the projects you identify will consider your application. In addition you must include a short statement (up to 400 words) to outline your research interests and to indicate the rationale behind your choice of projects. We do not require a research proposal.
There are two categories of projects: 'Funded Projects & Potentially-funded Projects' and 'All Projects'. For projects that do not have specified funding, candidates who are offered places will be considered for various competitive sources of funding such as the Department's non-earmarked EPSRC DTP studentships and the Department's allocation of Clarendon Scholarships.
If you applying for CDT courses please select projects from the relevant CDT categories or for IMAT visit IMAT Project List (send any IMAT queries to imat-admin@chem.ox.ac.uk).
If you are considering applying for MSc by Research you should check with the supervisor to see whether the project is suitable for MSc.
Applicants are recommended to browse the further information in order to understand more about the research activities of the different research groups and supervisors.
