UCL SECReT is the £17m international centre for PhD training in security and crime science at University College London, the first centre of its kind in Europe. We offer the most comprehensive integrated PhD programme for students wishing to pursue multidisciplinary security or crime-related research degrees. We recruit our doctoral students from a range of scientific backgrounds to pursue research in crime or security domains across the engineering and social sciences. Students can enter through various funding routes (self-funded, industry sponsors, scholarships).
During their PhD, all SECReT students develop an expertise in specific crime and security domains, e.g., cybercrime, terrorism, organised crime, sexual abuse, urban crime, environmental crime, heritage crime, etc.
