How to apply

Students apply to specific ICB CDT projects - not to the programme in general.

Available projects are listed the ICB CDT studentships page.

As our programme comprises an MRes + PhD, applicants apply via the 'Postgraduate Taught' course type 

1. Please apply via My Imperial with the details below:

2. Please clearly indicate in your statement of support/personal statement which project(s) you are applying to (you will be able to upload this once you've submitted the first part of the application).

NOTE: You need only one application on My Imperial to apply to multiple projects, if you submit a second application to the gateway it will be automatically returned.  

3. Please send icbadmin@imperial.ac.uk an email notifying us that you are applying to the ICB CDT, specifying which project(s) you are applying to.

If you already have an Master's of Research (MRes) and want to apply to the CDT, you can apply directly to the PhD course code:
