Over the past twenty years, the University of Brighton has played a pivotal role in advancing research on crucial social, political, and environmental issues shaping modern life. Our human geography faculty and doctoral candidates spearhead studies exploring power dynamics, social movements, bodily politics, accessibility, property rights, and citizenship—bridging the connections between society, space, and the natural world.

A substantial portion of our research adopts a critical perspective on tangible realities while striving to shape progressive change. Scholars within our Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics, along with our Society, Space and Environment Research Group, investigate pressing matters such as gender disparities, urban livability, biopolitical migration, emotional geographies, post-industrial transitions, contemporary commons theory in activism, and the ecological impacts of resource extraction across diverse global settings.

Qualification Requirements

The entry requirements for the PhD are: a recognised Master’s degree with a significant research component, for example MPhil from another university, or similar qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant or substantial appropriate research or professional experience at postgraduate level which resulted in published work, written reports or other appropriate evidence of accomplishment. An application made by someone with this experience will be considered on its merits and will normally require independent academic references or, unless a School exercises their right to specify more stringent entry requirements, we may consider a first or upper second honours degree or other qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant. Research degrees in Engineering, and Environment and Technology require a minimum of 6.0 in each component.
