The first step of applying for a PhD project is to contact a potential supervisor by email to discuss your interest in undertaking a PhD.
If you are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM), you can view our existing PhD projects which already have a supervisor attached to them - their contact details will be listed in the advert.
If you are undertaking a Humanities PhD, you will either need to propose your own project or work with a supervisor to develop one. You can find a potential PhD supervisor by typing in the subject you are interested in and looking for the green tick that indicates they are accepting new students. Through this link you can also view a list of their research interests, published papers and current and previous PhD project supervisions.
Once you have agreed a project with a supervisor, you can apply to Southampton via the button above.
