As part of our ongoing investment in research, the
University’s Faculty of Technology, Engineering and the Environment is
pleased to announce the availability of a range of partially and fully
funded PhD research studentships to start in September 2014. We welcome
applications from UK, EU and Overseas students.
The Birmingham School of the Built Environment, and its associated
Centre for Environment and Society Research, has an international
profile in a number of research areas including environmental and
spatial planning, ecosystems services, construction, digitising the
built environment, Building Information Modelling, sustainable systems,
and environmental governance. We work closely with professional bodies
and employers across the built and natural environment, and much of our
research is designedly interdisciplinary. We have identified a number of
PhD topics details and contacts are available on our website, which
extend our existing research strengths and welcome applications in these
areas.
The Awards: A full studentship covers the cost of
tuition fees at the UK/EU rate or, in exceptional circumstances, the
overseas rate and a stipend. In the 2014/2015 academic year, the stipend
is £13,863.
A partial studentship covers the cost of tuition fees. The
studentships are available to support three years' full-time study,
subject to satisfactory progress. We are also keen to attract suitably
qualified candidates for self-funded PhD positions in these topics. The
current fees for home/EU students and non-EU students are shown on our
website.
