The Queen Mary University of London Postgraduate Research Student Associate Program is specifically designed for doctoral students currently undertaking their PhDs outside the UK who require short-term visiting student status to receive thesis supervision. This program is not intended for individuals seeking to enroll in a full degree at Queen Mary University of London. Admitted participants are officially recognized as Postgraduate Research Student Associates and gain access to university facilities, including a student identification card. A fee of £100 per supervised month is applicable and must be paid upon enrolment. Applications are accepted throughout the year, contingent on departmental agreement. Prior to submitting a formal application, prospective students are required to consult with a relevant member of the research staff to secure an invitation, establish the duration of their visit, and determine a start date. The formal application process typically requires at least four weeks for processing. While participants can attend classes if permitted, it is important to note that visiting students cannot receive formal assessment or academic credit for such attendance. University accommodation is not guaranteed, and visiting students may need to arrange their own lodging, though Residential Services and Support can offer guidance.
