Candidates for the PhD should apply through the University’s Admissions Office, using the online application system (University Admissions Office). The application form is designed to be completed online and submitted electronically to the university. Information can be saved and edited before submission.

In general, there are no closing dates for applications. However, even if applications might be considered till near the beginning of the academic year in September, we encourage you to apply as early as possible. In particular, international students need to allow time to obtain a visa before coming to study at Queen's. Closing dates for funding competitions are fixed, and available on our Sources of Funding page.
