PhD and Research

Prepare for research study with a clear topic, academic fit and an organised application plan.

Start with your research direction

Define the question or field you want to investigate and review the department’s research interests. Check whether the application concerns an advertised project, a doctoral programme or an individual research proposal.

Questions to check with the institution

How your previous qualifications match the entry requirements.
Whether supervisor contact is expected before applying.
The proposal format, supporting documents and references required.
Language requirements and the application calendar.
How funding is awarded and which costs it covers.

Prepare for a discussion with GGA

Bring your academic CV, qualifications, transcripts and a brief outline of your research interests. We can help you organise your preparation and the questions to put to the institution.

Supervision, admission and funding depend on the institution or funding provider. GGA does not guarantee a research place or funding.
