PhD in Applied Geosciences in Leeds United Kingdom | University of Leeds

Our primary research degree is the Doctor of Philosophy program. To earn a PhD, candidates must submit a substantial thesis (either 300 pages or 100,000 words) that demonstrates original discoveries, interpretations, and communication of new knowledge. This research should meet publication standards in respected international and national peer-reviewed journals, representing the expected output of a dedicated student after three to four years of full-time study (or five to seven years for part-time or split-site students). Additionally, examiners assess candidates' broad understanding of their research field. Our work focuses on core geoscience research with practical applications addressing energy, environmental, industrial, and infrastructure challenges. With a varied research foundation, global reputation, and interdisciplinary approach, we maintain a strong position in the field.
