You’ll work with a range of experts from across the natural and social sciences whose cutting-edge original research has made a significant impact on individuals, institutions and societies around the world.

In the School of Global Studies, we host one of the UK’s largest doctoral research communities in International Development, and here students have a voice and an identity!

  • environment, resources and mobilisation

  • gender, sexuality and conflict

  • human rights and welfare

  • humanitarian design and citizen aid

  • markets, labour and finance

  • migration and mobility.
