King’s Centre for Doctoral Studies: Equipping research students to excel 

Welcome to the Centre for Doctoral Studies. Our aim is provide postgraduate research students with world-class administrative support throughout their journey as a research student.

We do this by providing support, driving standards, and improving provision for postgraduate research students across King’s.

We focus on four areas of PGR student experience:

  • Support – providing timely, relevant and useful information
  • Funding – attracting and resourcing research students
  • Training – offering high quality personal, professional and career development opportunities
  • Community – creating a welcoming and collaborative environment for all research students

Each faculty has dedicated Faculty Heads of Graduate Studies who take responsibility for postgraduate student matters within their Schools.
