Partner research institute scheme, split PhDs & Imperial recognised locations
Policy and procedures
Partner Research Institutions and Split PhDs are procedures to allow students who will be undertaking PhD study at Imperial to spend periods of time at a partner organisation to undertake research for their degree programme. In both cases, students can only be registered for the Imperial PhD programme - these procedures do not allow concurrent registration for a PhD programme at another institution.
