MPhil/PhD Chinese Studies Research in London United Kingdom | King's College London

The Lau Institute invites submissions of high-quality research proposals from prospective candidates. We particularly encourage studies focusing on political economy, contemporary Chinese political science, China's international relations, and environmental issues related to China. Prospective applicants should begin by reviewing the research specialties of our core faculty members at the Lau China Institute to identify a suitable supervisor. Candidates should then contact their chosen supervisor to discuss their application and submit the following materials: A CV and a research proposal (maximum 5 pages) outlining the project title, central research questions, theoretical framework, academic contributions, and methodological approach. Special attention should be given to demonstrating how the research engages with existing scholarship, its potential academic impact, and the feasibility of any fieldwork (including practical considerations, funding requirements, and ethical approvals).
