Course summary

Established in 1966, the School of Geography and Planning is a leading international centre of excellence in teaching and research in spatial planning, human geography and urban design.

Overview

The school offers Postgraduate Research (PGR) degrees. These principally include our PhD degree in Geography and Planning, as well as the possibility to pursue an MPhil degree.

As a Russell Group university, we welcome applications from high-calibre candidates committed to pursuing innovative, cutting-edge research that will contribute to academic and policy debates, nationally and internationally.

With our international and interdisciplinary research profile, we offer a rich and lively scholarly environment in which to conduct doctoral research. Currently, the school has a total of 55 full-time and part-time PhD researchers.

If you are interested in European Studies with a cultural perspective please see the postgraduate research of the School of Modern Languages.

What we offer

We attract graduate talent who aspire to become future research and community leaders. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to develop their postgraduate research project in a vibrant and collaborative School at the cutting edge of research and impact. You will be supervised by two supervisors, who are leading the development of their discipline nationally and internationally; and one reviewer, who will assess written work and help prepare you for the viva examination.

The school has a tailored induction programme that develops the academic skills necessary for the successful implementation of your research project. Throughout your PhD project, you will be guided to prepare yourself for a successful academic career, as well as to acquire skills and knowledge for non-academic careers, including developing industry-focused relationships and collaboration activities. Postgraduate research students are supported to develop publishing skills and publish academic research independently or in collaboration with their supervisors.

The school also provides postgraduate research students with paid teaching opportunities in its undergraduate and MSc programmes and supports PGR students in acquiring teaching qualifications.
