Imperial College London and National University of Singapore Joint PHD Degree

The Imperial-NUS Joint PhD Degree is an award conferred by both institutions, which allows PhD students to spend half of their time at each institution. This degree is particularly aimed at those that want a comparative degree or whose research would benefit from the expertise of the two academic research groups whether they are working in complementary areas or whether they want to gain an interdisciplinary element.

This programme is offered across the various disciplines that each institution offers, and is a great way of taking research forward on an international level.
