The CMMP group offers one of the most exciting environments in the UK for graduate studies in condensed matter physics. Research within the group spans a wide spectrum of subjects including quantum computing, organic electronics, superconductivity, the physics of the Earth's deep interior, biomagnetism, nanoscale imaging, etc.
Thanks to the CMMP group's broad range of interests we are able to offer projects catering to almost any taste, from working
on problems of fundamental importance to technology development and transfer, in a friendly and supportive environment. At present we take in approximately 12 Ph.D. students every year, funded through a variety of sources.
To find out more please send an e-mail to Dr Dorothy Duffy for theory/modelling projects or Prof Steve Bramwell for experimental projects.

Entry Requirements:
The normal minimum requirement for admission is a 2.1 M.Sci., or equivalent.
The funding available to a given applicant depends on
the nationality of the candidate and where they studied for their degree.
- UK citizens are eligible for an EPSRC Doctoral Training Account award
which covers tuition fees (£3,564 in 2009/10) and a maintenance allowance (£15,363 in 2009/10).
- UCL also has a number of EPSRC funded Collaborative Training Account (CTA)
awards which are awarded in association with an external partner.
- EU citizens who did their degree at a UK university are also eligible for DTA and CTA awards.
- UK and EU citizens are eligible for project studentships
associated with specific funded EPSRC projects.
- Overseas (but not EU) students are not eligible for any EPSRC awards
and must find independent funding to cover fees at the
appropriate rate(£16,670, 2009/10) and their maintenance costs. The principal
funding opportunity for fees is a UCL-ORS award, which will pay all the tuition
fees.
