A leading centre of postgraduate teaching and research, the School of Geography has internationally recognised strengths across the discipline. Our PhD programme enables you to conduct original research across a wide range of geographical research areas. Our students are an integral part of our wider research and teaching community. Individual projects may cut across research areas, for example, in fields such as environmental management. You will also be supported by at least two academic advisors, who may be drawn from more than one of our research groups. Our research in the school is interdisciplinary; crossing many disciplines and adopting many research methods and analyses. It also transects across various timescales (past, present and future) and spatial scales. The school is organised into research themes, namely: Earth Observation and Geospatial Data Science Biogeography, Ecology and Ecosystem Restoration Cultural and Historical Geography Freshwater Science and Management Health, Environment and Society Environmental Change Economic and Political Worlds
