The Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) in Geography and the Environment is the department's premier research degree, awarded to candidates who have successfully completed a major piece of original research. The course provides support and an intellectual environment to pursue their own independent research. The DPhil is an advanced research degree which is awarded based on a thesis and oral examination (assessment of other work is not taken into consideration). The thesis should represent a significant and substantial piece of research which is conveyed in a lucid and scholarly manner which shows that they have a good general knowledge of the field of their thesis. Students are required to work independently, to take the initiative in exploring a line of research and to acquire new skills in order to carry out their research. Students will be allocated a supervisor who will meet with them at specifically agreed times and will agree with students a research plan and programme of work and to establish clear academic expectations and milestones.
