شروط القبول
للطلاب الدوليين
The programme is offered in the following alternative formats: Either the standalone MPhil/PhD in Economic Geography (+3 route) Or combined with the MSc Real Estate Economics and Finance (REEF)/MSc Local Economic Development (LED) progressing onto the MPhil/PhD in Economic Geography (1+3 route) +3 Route: MPhil/PhD in Economic Geography (2-4 years). The minimum entry requirement for this programme is a taught masters degree (or equivalent), with a minimum of 65 per cent average and at least 70 in the dissertation, in a related discipline including research methods training (eg, economics, economic geography, regional science, local economic development). 1+3 Route: MSc Real Estate Economics and Finance (REEF) / MSc Local Economic Development (LED) (1 year) + MPhil/PhD in Economic Geography (2-4 years). The 1+3 route is suitable for those individuals who do not hold a relevant postgraduate degree and is aimed at students graduating with an undergraduate degree in economics or closely related subject (economic geography, regional science, local economic development). (See entrance requirements for either the MSc in Local Economic Development or MSc in Real Estate Economics and Finance). The 1+3 Combined PhD Programme is only available as part of an ESRC Funded pathway. The 1+3 scheme provides funding for a one year research training master's linked to a PhD programme and is designed for students who haven't already completed an ESRC recognised programme of research training. The ESRC 1+3 scholarship covers the masters and the PhD programme and so takes up to five years in total. Progression from the masters onto the PhD programme is dependent upon performance in the masters programme (Students must score 65 per cent overall and at least 70 in their dissertation to comply with the departments usual PhD entry criteria). To apply for the 1+3 route, an application must be submitted for the relevant masters programme, including a research proposal for the PhD aspect of the pathway. Applicants must also indicate their wish to be considered for the 1+3 pathway and associated funding within their personal statement. If you apply for the PhD programme directly, you will not be considered for the 1+3 pathway.
