Graduate Research in the TSU

Our Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) programme is an integral part of the TSU’s activities. TSU doctoral students are admitted to the DPhil in the School of Geography and the Environment and become affiliated to the TSU through supervision.

The School of Geography and the Environment webpages provide details on how to apply.

The topic of DPhil research should be aligned with the TSU’s research programme and the theoretical and methodological approaches with which we are currently working. If you intend to apply, we strongly encourage you to contact Prof Schwanen or Dr Jennie Middleton before submitting your application. 

In discussion with either of them you will be able to refine their ideas and develop a project that we can supervise effectively.

The international and interdisciplinary nature of the TSU’s research is reflected in the diversity of research topics on which our graduate students are working. More information is available on the webpage with the profiles of our doctoral (DPhil) research students.
