The Visiting Research Student scheme is available to postgraduate research students who are pursuing studies at another institution but who wish to be based in the School of Law during part of their postgraduate degree in order to undertake research as part of their doctoral work. The minimum period of registration is two months and the maximum is one year. We also welcome a number of academics on our Visiting Scholars programme.

The following fee structure applies:

In exceptional circumstances, these fees can be waived.

The application process is the same as for a standard PhD student. You can download an application form from our postgraduate application web page. The form should be accompanied by a CV and a brief research proposal which indicates the reasons for undertaking the research within the School of Law. Documents should be sent by email to Hayley O'Hagan h.ohagan@qmul.ac.uk, who coordinates the administration of the Visiting Research Student scheme.

Visiting Research Students are registered by the college as Associate Students. They have access to the same range of facilities as standard PhD students including:

• School of Law resources and activities, including attendance at School of law programmes and research seminars
• QMUL library (Mile End)
• IALS library (Russell Square)
• IP Archive (IALS)
• Electronic resources
• Computer facilities, including wireless
• Hot-desk space (at Mile End or Lincoln's Inn Fields)

Visiting Research Students are not entitled to apply for funding for travel grants and conferences or studentships of any kind.
