PhD Sport and Exercise Sciences in Durham United Kingdom | Durham University

Our academic community greatly benefits from the contributions of postgraduate researchers. We provide guidance for PhD, Phil, and Masters by Research programs, with the department's interdisciplinary focus evident in the diverse research initiatives pursued. Our graduate students engage in work spanning multiple fields such as sociology, psychology, physiology, nutrition, and political science. Their investigations examine sports, exercise, and physical activity from theoretical, policy, and practical perspectives. Collaboratively, we aim to uncover the connections between physical activity, sports, and aspects like health, wellbeing, and social equity. Financial support for students originates from various channels, including research council grants (ESRC, AHRC) and NIHR scholarships awarded to many of our candidates.
