我们的MPhil / PhD计划旨在训练您进行最高学术水平的研究，并通过您的研究为该学科做出原创性贡献。我们的博士课程旨在满足寻求学术职业或其他专业工作的学生以及希望自己寻求智力探索的学生的需求和兴趣。我们的目标是招募即将毕业的毕业生和成熟的学生，他们现在有时间追求知识的热情，也许是在一生的职业生涯之后。博士研究人员可以专门从事地理，地理信息科学，环境研究，发展研究，国际儿童研究或社区，青年和志愿部门研究。要在地理学系提供的任何领域中获得博士学位或博士学位，都需要与一小部分人员紧密合作进行独立的研究项目。
Our MPhil/PhD programmes aim to train you to conduct research of the highest academic standard and to make an original contribution to the subject through your research. Our doctoral programme aims to respond to the needs and interests both of students seeking an academic career or other professional employment and of those who wish to pursue a line of intellectual enquiry for its own sake. We aim to recruit both recent graduates and mature students who now have the time to pursue an intellectual enthusiasm, perhaps after a lifetime of professional work.<br><br>PhD researchers can specialise in geography, geographical information science, environmental studies, development studies, international childhood studies, or community, youth and voluntary sector studies. Studying for an MPhil or PhD in any of the areas offered in the Department of Geography involves working closely with a small group of staff on an independent research project. This means that we are only able to accept students whose proposed research project lies within the areas of expertise of our staff. If there is a particular member of staff you would like to work with, please contact them to discuss your project before applying.
