Practitioner Doctorate in Sustainability PhD

University of Surrey

The University of Surrey has been leading the way in environment and sustainability research for more than 30 years. The diversity of Surrey’s interests in this area of research, and the breadth of our staff’s expertise, means we can support PhD/EngD studies ranging across a full spectrum of sustainability research, including pure social science approaches, natural sciences and engineering. The majority of our research in these areas adopts multidisciplinary approaches, which we’ve pioneered for many years. Our Practitioner Doctorate in Sustainability PhD/EngD allows you to pursue research studies at doctoral level while gaining invaluable research experience in a prestigious organisation external to the University, enabling you to apply your knowledge to real-life sustainability issues. You’ll have the unique opportunity to further your research knowledge in the academic field of sustainability and apply this to an external partner organisation. This programme falls within our world-leading Centre for Environment and Sustainability (CES), which is internationally recognised for multidisciplinary research and teaching across all areas of sustainability. Collaborative research is carried out across the University, giving you an excellent opportunity to learn from, and contribute to, this vital domain of human development.
