Environment and Politics Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

This interdisciplinary PhD enables you to study and research across both the Department of Politics and International Relations and the Department of Environment and Geography. Both departments have strong research cultures and are highly ranked for the quality of their research.

You'll be jointly supervised by a member of staff from each department. You'll receive one-to-one academic advice, mentoring and guidance. You'll also benefit from the advice and support of other academic staff in both departments who will be involved in your Thesis Advisory Panel and in overseeing your progression through the PhD. Each have their own research interests and specialisms, with political research clusters and environmental challenge areas. 

They'll support your integration into both departments and help you build your research presence. They'll also ensure you benefit from the intellectual debates, skills training and social events offered in both departments. You should identify a supervisor from both departments before applying.

* Supervisors in Department of Politics and International Relations

* Supervisors in Department of Environment and Geography

The focus of your work will be an independent, original research project. You'll work towards a monograph-style thesis or a thesis-by-papers. You'll also complete an oral viva examination after submitting your thesis.
