The PhD is a higher degree awarded for a thesis presenting original research that makes a publishable contribution to knowledge or understanding. A student will be working on their own research project, working closely with their academic supervisor and with the support of other postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and staff in their research group.
The PhD programme in Environmental Economics and Environmental Management offer interdisciplinary research across economic and ecological sciences, concentrated in the following key areas:
- Economics of the environment
- Ecology and environmental management, with emphasis on marine systems, tropical and temperate forest systems, and agro-ecosystems
- The nature and impacts of environmental pollution
- Sustainable use of terrestrial, marine and freshwater resources
- Economic growth and environmental health outcomes
- Environmental health, migration and socio-economic change
The PhD requires a dissertation of up to 80,000 words, to be submitted by full-time students after a period of three years' study (or six years for part-time students), with a further maximum of one year allowable for writing up.
