Join us for study, work or visit

The University of Brighton's Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics welcomes contact with prospective student or academic members, independent researchers and representatives of organisations and institutions that engage with political issues across our academic themes.

Find out more about joining us as a student, a visiting fellow, staying in touch through our digital media or visiting us in person.

Study for your PhD with the Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics 

Ambitious and talented postgraduate research students are at the heart of the research and enterprise activities within the Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics.

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.

Entry to PhD in disciplines across spatial, environmental and cultural politics

Discover more about the work of our academic supervisors more about the university's relevant research study programme areas and find links to application details including the example programmes below: 

  • Environmental communication PhD
  • Human Geography PhD
  • Media and communication PhD
  • Politics PhD
  • Psychology PhD
  • Sport and leisure studies PhD

The university's PhD programme list reflects some of the more popular disciplines. The Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics 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, environmental and cultural politics

Our academics are also the driving force behind research Masters degrees in a number of disciplines, including: 

  • Sport and International Development MRes 
  • Environmental Politics MRes 
  • Ecology and Conservation MRes 

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 web pages.
