The Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) in Geography and the Environment is the department's premier research degree, awarded to candidates who have successfully completed a major piece of original research. The course provides support and an intellectual environment to pursue your own independent research.

The DPhil is an advanced research degree which is awarded on the basis of a thesis and oral examination (assessment of other work is not taken into consideration). You are required to work independently, to take the initiative in exploring a line of research and to acquire new skills in order to carry out your research.

The department has seven research clusters in:

Biodiversity, Ecosystems and Conservation Climate Systems Landscape Dynamics Economy, Society: Transformations and Justice Environmental Interactions Political Worlds: Place, Power, Politics Technological Life: Environments, Bodies, Mobilities.

You will be a member of one of the clusters and are encouraged to attend and participate in the organisation of the research seminars organised by each cluster.
