Subject areas: Human Geography

Project description:

A Collaborative Doctoral Research Opportunity

The Geography Department at Swansea University is a vibrant and dynamic place for doctoral studies, hosting a large contingent of both domestic and international PhD students. Our staff have a wide range of expertise, including social theory, cultural, urban, political, environmental, rural, and economic geography. We emphasise research that is both theoretically sophisticated and empirically situated.

As part of the ESRC supported Welsh Graduate School in the Social Sciences, the Human Geography pathway is founded on longstanding institutional links between Swansea's Department of Geography, Aberystwyth's Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, and Cardiff's School of Geography and Planning. All three departments collaborate extensively in funded research ventures, PhD supervision, and broader postgraduate training in cutting-edge theories and methods of human geography.

Research Training and Support

PhD training is provided through a coordinated programme of standalone and residential workshops dedicated to advances in Human Geography Theory, and an annual cohort-building postgraduate conference with participation from across the pathway. The pathway also sponsors a peer-reviewed journal, Agoriad, with PhD students serving as editors. PhD students wishing to gain paid teaching experience may do so, including as demonstrators or assisting with field trips and seminars.

Eligibility Criteria

To receive ESRC studentship funding, you must have qualifications or experience equal to an honours degree at a first or upper second-class level, or a master's from a UK academic research organisation. Students with non-traditional academic backgrounds are also welcome to apply.

WGSSS studentships are available to home and international students. Up to 30% of our cohort can comprise international students. International students will not be charged the fee difference between the UK and international rate. Applicants should satisfy the UKRI eligibility requirements.

Equality and Diversity

The WGSSS is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive environment for all. We welcome applications from all members of the global community irrespective of age, disability, sex, gender identity, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation.

We welcome applications for both full and part-time study.

Language Requirements

English Language: IELTS 6.5 Overall (with no individual component below 6.5) or Swansea University recognised equivalent.

Funding Details

The studentship funded by the ESRC covers tuition fees and an annual tax-free living stipend in line with UKRI minimum rates (currently £19,237 for 2024/25). If you have a disability, you may be entitled to a Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) on top of your studentship. Students also have access to a Research Training Support Grant, worth up to £940 per year.
