Passion for progress
Our differences are our strength. Widen and mix up the pool of people you connect with

Be your brilliant self
Be quirky not egocentric
Recognise the power in saying ‘I don’t know’
Make trust our default position
Hold strong opinions lightly

The Department of Chemical Engineering has up to 10 fully-funded scholarships available for outstanding PhD applicants each year. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, you are expected to have obtained (or be heading for) a First Class Honours degree at Master’s level ( or equivalent ) in chemical engineering, another branch of engineering or a related science.
The standard period of the scholarship is 42 months. The scholarships are open to all applicants regardless of their fee status, and cover both tuition fees and an annual tax-free contribution to maintenance costs of £21,400 .
How to apply
In order to be considered for the Chemical PhD Scholarships, you will need to submit an application for admission through the online admissions system . The Progamme is Chemical Engineering Research - Full Time. Your application form must include:
Full transcripts of your university studies to date
A personal statement to support your application, which should outline your research interest and experience
A copy of your English Language certificate (if applicable - the language requirement can be found here : where there are 2 levels we require the higher level)
The contact details of 2 referees, at least one of whom must be an academic referee (for example your project supervisor or personal tutor). You will be asked to give the e-mail addresses of the referees, which will trigger reference requests directly to the referees. Please do not upload reference letters, as the references must come directly from the referees. References are confidential between the referee and the College. Please note that the e-mail addresses must be personal institutional addresses (university or company e-mail addresses) rather than webmail addresses, as these are not acceptable.
The scholarships are very competitive and you should demonstrate an outstanding academic record and research skills. Applications will be considered by an academic selection panel, which meets twice a year. The application timeline is as follows:
Round 1:
Application deadline: 31 October for entry in October of the following year
The shortlisting panel will meet in late November and interviews will be held in late November or early December
Successful candidates will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors within a week of the last interview and we will endeavour to allocate projects by the end of December
Round 2:
Application deadline: 31 January for entry in October of the same year
The shortlisting panel will meet in late February and interviews will be held in late February or early March
Successful candidates will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors within a week of the last interview and we will endeavour to allocate projects by the end of March
The majority of scholarships is likely to be allocated in Round 1. We therefore recommend that you submit your PhD application in time for the Round 1 deadline.
The selection process for departmental and College scholarships
Our aim is to select the most outstanding PhD students and offer them financial support. In the interest of fairness, we have one selection process for all the scholarships that are administered by the College. You will need to submit your PhD application by the following deadlines in order to be considered for the Chemical Engineering PhD Scholarships or any other scholarships which are administered by the College (e.g. the President's Scholarships, the CSC Imperial scholarships):
Round 1: 31 October for entry in October of the following year
Round 2: 31 January for entry in October of the same year
Please note that where there is a later deadline advertised for College scholarships, the departmental deadline before the College deadline will apply , as you will need to go through the departmental selection process, including interviews, before we can put you forward for a College Scholarship.
An academic selection panel will screen the applications that demonstrate the necessary achievement and potential and will shortlist the most outstanding candidates for interview. If you are shortlisted and successful in your interview, you will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors and asked to select 2 projects offered by different supervisors in the order of your choice.
Once we have received the project selections from all the successful candidates, we will contact your first-choice and ask them if they are happy to take you on under the departmental scholarship scheme. If there is more than one successful applicant who wants to work with the same supervisor, the supervisor will be asked to choose the student who is most suited to the project. If you are not selected by your first-choice supervisor, we will contact your second-choice supervisor. If you are not selected by either of the supervisors, we will try our best to match you up with another eligible supervisor.
We will consider all successful applicants for any scholarships offered at College level and put forward the most outstanding candidates who fit the eligibility criteria for a particular scholarship.
What happens if my scholarship application is unsuccessful?
All the scholarships offered through the Department are highly competitive and it can happen that candidates who are academically very good will not be selected because the competition was too high. If your application meets the expected standard, we will make it available to potential supervisors, as they may be looking for good students for funded projects. You may be contacted by a supervisor with details of a particular project and invited for interview.
If you meet the academic requirements for PhD studies and you have your own funding, either as a self-funded student, or through an external sponsor (such as a sponsoring company, your employer, or the government of your home country), you will need to identify a potential supervisor (the list of academic research groups may be useful) who is prepared to supervise you subject to successful interview with an independent academic panel. The supervisor will need to put you forward for the next round of self-funded interviews. These interviews normally take place in March, June, September and December.
What can I expect in the interview?
The scholarship interviews last for 20 minutes and will be held by a panel of academic staff, normally chaired by the Postgraduate Admissions Tutor. If you are based in or near London, the interview will be held in person; otherwise it will be by Skype video call. You should be prepared to answer technical questions related to your research interest, questions about your motivation, and generally demonstrate that you are an outstanding student.
When will I find out about my application?
We have two selection rounds for the Chemical Engineering PhD Scholarships and any of the College scholarships:
Round 1:
Application deadline: 31 October for October entry in the following year
The shortlisting panel will meet in late November and interviews will be held in late November or early December
Successful candidates will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors within a week of the last interview and we will endeavour to allocate projects by the end of December
Round 2:
Application deadline: 31 January for October entry in the same year

Scholarship - PhD
The Department of Chemical Engineering has up to 10 fully-funded scholarships available for outstanding PhD applicants each year. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, you are expected to have obtained (or be heading for) a First Class Honours degree at Master’s level ( or equivalent ) in chemical engineering, another branch of engineering or a related science.
The standard period of the scholarship is 42 months. The scholarships are open to all applicants regardless of their fee status, and cover both tuition fees and an annual tax-free contribution to maintenance costs of £21,400 .
How to apply
In order to be considered for the Chemical PhD Scholarships, you will need to submit an application for admission through the online admissions system . The Progamme is Chemical Engineering Research - Full Time. Your application form must include:
Full transcripts of your university studies to date
A personal statement to support your application, which should outline your research interest and experience
A copy of your English Language certificate (if applicable - the language requirement can be found here : where there are 2 levels we require the higher level)
The contact details of 2 referees, at least one of whom must be an academic referee (for example your project supervisor or personal tutor). You will be asked to give the e-mail addresses of the referees, which will trigger reference requests directly to the referees. Please do not upload reference letters, as the references must come directly from the referees. References are confidential between the referee and the College. Please note that the e-mail addresses must be personal institutional addresses (university or company e-mail addresses) rather than webmail addresses, as these are not acceptable.
The scholarships are very competitive and you should demonstrate an outstanding academic record and research skills. Applications will be considered by an academic selection panel, which meets twice a year. The application timeline is as follows:
Round 1:
Application deadline: 31 October for entry in October of the following year
The shortlisting panel will meet in late November and interviews will be held in late November or early December
Successful candidates will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors within a week of the last interview and we will endeavour to allocate projects by the end of December
Round 2:
Application deadline: 31 January for entry in October of the same year
The shortlisting panel will meet in late February and interviews will be held in late February or early March
Successful candidates will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors within a week of the last interview and we will endeavour to allocate projects by the end of March
The majority of scholarships is likely to be allocated in Round 1. We therefore recommend that you submit your PhD application in time for the Round 1 deadline.
The selection process for departmental and College scholarships
Our aim is to select the most outstanding PhD students and offer them financial support. In the interest of fairness, we have one selection process for all the scholarships that are administered by the College. You will need to submit your PhD application by the following deadlines in order to be considered for the Chemical Engineering PhD Scholarships or any other scholarships which are administered by the College (e.g. the President's Scholarships, the CSC Imperial scholarships):
Round 1: 31 October for entry in October of the following year
Round 2: 31 January for entry in October of the same year
Please note that where there is a later deadline advertised for College scholarships, the departmental deadline before the College deadline will apply , as you will need to go through the departmental selection process, including interviews, before we can put you forward for a College Scholarship.
An academic selection panel will screen the applications that demonstrate the necessary achievement and potential and will shortlist the most outstanding candidates for interview. If you are shortlisted and successful in your interview, you will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors and asked to select 2 projects offered by different supervisors in the order of your choice.
Once we have received the project selections from all the successful candidates, we will contact your first-choice and ask them if they are happy to take you on under the departmental scholarship scheme. If there is more than one successful applicant who wants to work with the same supervisor, the supervisor will be asked to choose the student who is most suited to the project. If you are not selected by your first-choice supervisor, we will contact your second-choice supervisor. If you are not selected by either of the supervisors, we will try our best to match you up with another eligible supervisor.
We will consider all successful applicants for any scholarships offered at College level and put forward the most outstanding candidates who fit the eligibility criteria for a particular scholarship.
What happens if my scholarship application is unsuccessful?
All the scholarships offered through the Department are highly competitive and it can happen that candidates who are academically very good will not be selected because the competition was too high. If your application meets the expected standard, we will make it available to potential supervisors, as they may be looking for good students for funded projects. You may be contacted by a supervisor with details of a particular project and invited for interview.
If you meet the academic requirements for PhD studies and you have your own funding, either as a self-funded student, or through an external sponsor (such as a sponsoring company, your employer, or the government of your home country), you will need to identify a potential supervisor (the list of academic research groups may be useful) who is prepared to supervise you subject to successful interview with an independent academic panel. The supervisor will need to put you forward for the next round of self-funded interviews. These interviews normally take place in March, June, September and December.
What can I expect in the interview?
The scholarship interviews last for 20 minutes and will be held by a panel of academic staff, normally chaired by the Postgraduate Admissions Tutor. If you are based in or near London, the interview will be held in person; otherwise it will be by Skype video call. You should be prepared to answer technical questions related to your research interest, questions about your motivation, and generally demonstrate that you are an outstanding student.
When will I find out about my application?
We have two selection rounds for the Chemical Engineering PhD Scholarships and any of the College scholarships:
Round 1:
Application deadline: 31 October for October entry in the following year
The shortlisting panel will meet in late November and interviews will be held in late November or early December
Successful candidates will be sent a list of available projects and supervisors within a week of the last interview and we will endeavour to allocate projects by the end of December

Technology Risk
Technology impacts every aspect of our lives. From the way schools and universities educate, how we interact socially, how we store information, how we shop, to how businesses operate; Technology drives almost every aspect of the way the modern world operates. Managing Technology Risk, establishing confidence and integrity in the technologies that enable businesses to operate is vital, especially in the digital world. Leaders of organisations need to have trust that they are using their technology effectively to trust and rely upon it as they run their businesses. And they need to know how they secure their systems and data from error, failure or attack to make sure their businesses can keep working effectively in a 24/7 world. Without trust, customers may not want to hand over their details to buy from you; and suppliers are less likely to supply goods and services to you. We help our clients build trust in their technology, to have the confidence to rely on it as part of the modern global and digital business landscape. We work with our clients to create a technology strategy that is fit for the digital age. And, we then help them implement systems, processes and controls that strengthen their IT resilience to support how technology enables effective business operations. What you'll do

Advising on how to set an IT strategy fit for their business in the digital world
Reviewing and improving how projects and transformations are delivered
Assuring how IT systems are controlled and optimised
Advising how to make IT organisations more effective
Helping clients understand the opportunities from emerging technology.
You’ll have opportunities to work across industry sectors and across the UK to provide IT assurance and advice to clients on their IT risks. This could be as part of audit teams delivering assurance over key IT systems, or providing advice to the IT and business leaders on the processes and controls that can build trust in their technology. What you’ll need
You'll need to have or be on course for a 2.1. degree or above in any subject. We determine whether you're on course for a 2.1. based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study. The subject of your degree is not important; however, you'll need to demonstrate a passion for a career in technology and how organisations use it.
The PwC Deal
