The breadth of the School's research expertise offers a wide range of opportunities for those wishing to embark on a programme of doctoral research in human or physical geography. Research students work under the close supervision of members of academic staff. We welcome applications from those wishing to study full or part-time. The School is part of the London Social Science ESRC Doctoral Training Centre (joint between QMUL/Goldsmiths), the London NERC Doctoral Training Partnership, the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral Programme on 'Science for Management of Rivers and their Tidal Systems, and also regularly receives AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Awards.
Prospective PhD students are encouraged to consider the wide variety of academic research areas covered by the School of Geography. Our research strengths include:
A first-class honours degree in Mathematics or Statistics or the equivalent qualification from an overseas institution. If your qualifications are not from a UK university, QMUL also considers recognised equivalent qualifications from accredited overseas institutions and equivalent professional qualification. Ideally you should have a more advanced qualification such as MSci, MMath or MSc, in which case we expect at least an upper second in your undergraduate degree with a merit in your postgraduate degree.
