General requirements

Students seeking admission into the Department’s PhD programme must hold as a minimum a UK First Class or UK Upper Second class bachelor’s degree or meet the country specific requirements from an accredited university.

It is not necessary that the undergraduate degree be in environmental sciences or environmental studies; indeed, the academic backgrounds of PhD students at the Centre range from philosophy and politics to engineering and zoology.

Candidates should note, however, that many funding agencies now require applicants for PhD research studentships to have a Masters degree in a relevant subject.
