The value of a Sheffield PhD can be seen in the rapidity with which graduates have obtained employment in a range of contexts including not just academia, but also local and central government and the charitable sector. The Research School is brought together as a community through a range of activities that continue throughout the academic year. This includes bespoke weekly training sessions in both semesters, presentations of research in progress, an enhanced support programme, and other events such as masterclasses from visiting academics, reading groups, and co-writing sessions.
A good first degree (2:1 or above) in geography, planning, environmental studies, or a related field. A Master’s degree is beneficial but not always required. Strong academic references and a clear research proposal.
