For any questions concerning PhD students and matters related to degree progression, contact Eva Broer (e.broer@arts.ac.uk). Eva is also at LCC every Tuesday afternoon (WG14c) to answer any PhD-related queries.

PhD Space

There are two designated spaces at LCC for PhD students to work and/or have tutorials. These are in W219 and W222 on the 2nd Floor of the Workshop block. The rooms have lockers and are equipped with MAC computers and the most up to date creative software.

Student Support Fund

This fund is for PhD students who wish to claim for research-related activities such as conferences, workshops or field work. The maximum amount of funding available for each student is £500, although higher amounts can be granted under special circumstances. If you are successful in being awarded the funds, you are expected to write a few short paragraphs to indicate how you have utilized the money and how it contributes to your research. For more info, login to Moodle, using your UAL login details and then select the Research Network University of the Arts London (RNUAL) link. This page includes a dedicated section on the Student Support Fund.
