Course Overview

You'll benefit from engaging with highly qualified academic staff, working alongside a portfolio of dynamic and popular master programmes.

The School of Law and Social Sciences Graduate School provides a focal point for the management and support of our PhD and Professional Doctorate programmes. Research students who study at LSBU become a vital part of our dynamic research culture and are one of the essential elements which make LSBU an exciting intellectual environment.

A member of staff, an expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme. As a research student, you'll become part of our thriving academic community.

Possible research areas include:

  • Urban public space
  • Urban regeneration
  • Urban design
  • Comparative urban policy
  • States
  • Territories and urban governance
  • Rural places and governance
  • Mobilities

A PhD, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. A research degree is different from a taught course. Research students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team.
