Pre-defined projects

Below you can find a list of pre-defined research projects available for 2025.  Please note that projects may be added after the application opening date.  Please further note that you need to discuss how you would approach these projects with the respective project sponsor and they will also need to complete the Laidlaw Supervisor reference form to indicate that they support your application.

Note: If you are unable to view the pre-defined project descriptions listed below, you can see the project descriptions here (this is a temporary workaround as we update our website).
