空间与环境规划研究所（ISEP）是英国发展最快且动态规划研究环境之一。我们的研究计划基于空间规划的概念，尽管我们的经验工作部分基于该地区，但它建立在强大的国际，跨学科和理论基础上。我们的团队特别强大，他们在学术研究和应用研究方面拥有良好的记录，并拥有广泛的出版物，研究补助金和博士学位。该研究所已建立了国际声誉，并吸引了与我们主要领域相关的大量研究经费。该研究所重视研究和教学计划与实证工作在学习环境中的应用之间的联系，并继续创新和开发教学计划，以反映迅速变化的市场，问题和政策环境以及专业水平的变化。
The discipline of Planning is now located in the School of Natural and Built Environment. In recent years the performance of the discipline has been quite exceptional in a range of surveys, e.g. National Student Survey, Times Higher Education Survey and Guardian League Table. Given this, Planning at Queen's is very highly ranked within the UK's Russell Group Universities. <br>Our research programme is based on the concept of spatial planning and whilst our empirical work is partly grounded in the region, it is built on strong international, interdisciplinary and theoretical references. Our particular strength is the staff team who have built a track record in scholarly and applied research and a wide-ranging portfolio of publications, research grants and Doctoral studentships. Planning academics have built an international reputation and attracted a stream of major research funding linked to our main areas. We value the connection between our research and teaching programmes and the application of our empirical work in a learning environment, and continues to innovate and develop teaching programmes to reflect a rapidly changing market place, problem and policy context and changes in professional standards.<br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – There is significant flexibility regarding start dates for postgraduate research programmes, subject to prior agreement with primary supervisor. Candidates should contact Admissions should they wish to revise their PhD programme start date.
