IDLA: how to apply

Cambridge currently accepts around 8 Industrial Doctoral Landscape Award (IDLA) students per year.

IDLA studentships are advertised individually by their host University departments, and are often also advertised directly by the industrial partners. Recruitment is carried out by both the University and the industrial partner.

To search for opportunities, see individual department websites and the University studentships advertising page. You can also visit the industrial partners’ websites to see whether they advertise ICASE projects directly. The EPSRC publish a list of industrial partners each year here: https://www.ukri.org/what-we-offer/developing-people-and-skills/epsrc/studentships/industrial-case/industrial-case-allocation-to-industrial-partners/
