Postgraduate Research Opportunities 

Carving your own path with our support, research degrees can take you where you want to go.

Defining your interest and taking it further is at the heart of our research.

A Research Degree involves defining your own area of research enquiry, and devising methods to answer the questions which you yourself construct.

We offer a range of postgraduate research opportunities across the University, where you can work on your individual research topic alongside experienced researchers and supervisors.

In addition to full training in Research Methods, the University also provides a training programme for research students who wish to pursue a teaching career in higher education. Schools may also provide opportunities for you to undertake paid part-time lecturing and tutorial work, if appropriate.

Postgraduate Research Profile:

Brian IlberyOur PhD students are researching retail food outlets, farmers’ markets, and how new people can get into farming when county farms are being sold off.

They look at the environmental, economic, social and community aspects of sustainability in agriculture. We research into local food systems, and how we can re-connect with our food and where it comes from.
