Ambitious and talented postgraduate research students are at the heart of the research and enterprise activities within the Centre for Spatial and Social Justice.
Our postgraduate student members are involved across all research areas of the centre and benefit from expert supervision from both the centre and wider university. We have also helped candidates successfully apply for funding, including the ESRC South Coast Doctoral Training Programme and the AHRC Landscape South Hub.
Join us for a PhD where your research is a move towards spatial and social justice.
The centre provides a welcoming and supportive environment for a range of PhD projects. As a postgraduate member, you will not only have expert supervision but you will be engaging and networking with dozens of like-minded people from academia and beyond.

PhD programme disciplines at the University of Brighton
Our staff and postgraduate student members of the Centre for Spatial and Social Justice support and conduct PhD projects across multiple disciplines with a shared interest in the in/justice that can be recognised, analysed and served through their research.
Some of the academic areas our staff and students relate to are indicated below, but we are interested in suitable, well-formed proposals that touch on several areas in transdisciplinary or multidisciplinary work, or which bring new experimental methodologies to the research questions that the centre is focused on.
The university's PhD programme list reflects some of the more popular disciplinary choices that staff and students identify with, but the Centre for Spatial and Social Justice will be happy to hear proposals that draw on elements across these and other disciplines, especially where traditionally discrete subject methodologies can be beneficially brought together.
Entry to research masters degrees across spatial and social justice
Our academics are also the driving force behind research masters degrees in a number of disciplines, including:
Research Masters (MRes) degrees provide a background to PhD application and also foster research skills with a wide range of applications. The range of MRes degrees offered by the University of Brighton can be found on the university course pages through the search facility.
