A built environment Ph.D. can be a pathway to a career in a wide range of related professions, especially in management roles – or in the academic world.
If you’re already in such a role, the Ph.D. is a major piece of personal development, developing new knowledge and building skills for your next career step. Birmingham City University has been a major center for built environment education in the region, and Ph.D. study builds on our expertise and professional and industry networks.
We cover the major built environment disciplines including surveying, project management, facilities management, planning, real estate and civil engineering. We are interested in interdisciplinary research building links to areas including engineering, computing, health, law, and others.
What's covered in the course?
A Ph.D. enables you to follow a programme of self-directed, independent study, supported by experienced supervisors who are themselves experts in their area. We may use industry experts to support some projects, and others may be run in full collaboration with an industry partner.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Research Practice prepares you for study at this level, as most find it a very different experience from previously taught courses. Topic-specific training and support is identified and provided by your supervision team and other experts as necessary.
Although you will be developing as an independent researcher, you will be supported both by your supervisors and the wider research community in the School, Faculty, and University. There are regular opportunities for you to present and share your work with other research students and staff.
Why Choose Us?
Expert staff supervisors, keen to help their students succeed
Excellent links with industry and built environment professions, both to support your research and your career progression
Research grounded in traditionally built environment subjects but also keen to build cross-discipline links to shape the future built environment
Encouragement and support for you to publish your work
Opportunities to support and teach other students, including bringing your new research into their education
A range of specialist software, facilities and working environments tailored to specific project needs
Entry Requirement
Admission Requirements:
UCAS tariff
Under the current tariff, a typical standard offer from Birmingham City University would be BBC at A-Level, DMM in a BTEC Extended Diploma, or D*D* in a BTEC Diploma, which equates to 280 tariff points.
Under the new UCAS tariff, this will equate to 112 points.
To apply for our built environment PhD research degree you should have, or expect to be awarded, a Master's degree in a relevant subject area from a British or overseas university.
Exceptional candidates without a Masters degree, but holding a first-class or upper second class Bachelors degree in a relevant subject area, may be considered.
We also welcome enquiries from potential Ph.D. researchers with appropriate levels of professional experience.
We find it most effective to work with inquirers to focus their research ideas before a formal application is made.
Alternatively please send us an initial PhD enquiry containing your brief PhD research proposal (1000-2000 words), and/or any questions or queries you may have.
We will review your initial enquiry to ensure that your research proposal compliments one of our PhD research interests and if so we will ask you to make a full application. We are unable to progress any proposals that do not have a clear and close link to our interests.
