Global Development Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

If your passion lies in creating a just and sustainable world and transforming development policy, this doctoral degree will give you the independence to focus on a global challenge of your choice.

In this interdisciplinary PhD you should have two academic supervisors:

* One from the Department of Politics and International Relations

* One from another department at the University

You'll be integrated into the Department of Politics and International Relations as a research collaborator and colleague. Research students are active participants in one or more of our research clusters and regularly get involved in our cross-disciplinary research centres.

Expert supervisors will support you throughout the PhD, providing one-to-one academic advice, mentoring and guidance. You'll also benefit from the advice and support of other academic staff in department who will be involved in your Thesis Advisory Panel and in overseeing your progression through the PhD.

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.
