The department is part of the School of Public Health. We have a highly active and wide-ranging research programmes in public health and primary care. This includes collaborative work with UK and international organisations.
Current and past PhD students have undertaken studies on a wide range of projects, including prescribing policy in Thailand; health care equity; deaths from drug overdose; the impact of pay for performance schemes on quality of care; ethnic and socio-economic differences in the management of diabetes and its complications; screening for diabetes and other chronic diseases; the use of new technology to improve health care; the epidemiology and management of diabetes in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council; medical ethics; and the epidemiology of childhood infections. You can also look at the personal webpages of some of our current staff and PhD students for further information on current PhD projects.

We expect our PhD students to have a relevant master's degree in addition to their first degree. We do not offer scholarships to overseas students and you will therefore need to arrange your own financial support. Please check the Imperial College website for details of fees for Home / EU students and overseas students.
Overseas students will also need to show proof of English language skills. Eligibility for a PhD programme at Imperial College is assessed by the Admissions Team in the Imperial College Registry. The Admissions Team will check your qualifications, references and English language skills (if applicable).
If you meet the entry criteria (relevant first degree, merit level master's degree, English language skills), you will then undergo an interview with two academic members of the Department of Primary Care and; Public Health to assess your suitability for a PhD in this department. The interview can be done by telephone, or Skype, so you do not need to attend in person. Please note that we can not make any offers of a PhD place until you have gone through this process and completed your online application and undergone an interview.
Although PhD students can start at any time during the year, we prefer students to be registered by the first week of October. The reason for this is that the PhD training organised by the department, the School of Public Health and Imperial College starts in October. If you start later, you may miss some important training sessions.
