Conservation Science - PhD

University of Kent

Our PhD programme in Conservation Science encourage you to undertake original, high-quality research, which culminates in the submission of a thesis. We welcome students with the appropriate background for research. During postgraduate research (PGR) studies students research and write a thesis of under the supervision of an academic team. The length of the thesis varies according to the mode of registrations (i.e. no more than 100,000 words for a PhD, or no more than 40,000 words for an MSc by research). Students participate in the vibrant postgraduate community of DICE and have opportunities to attend events like the DICE seminar series, DICE Talks, and Annual DICE Lecture.Due to the diversity and international nature of many field-orientated research projects, the amount of time that individual research students spend at the School campus varies. However, students are expected to spend the first months of the PGR study at the School campus to obtain training in research methods and attend a number of research seminars.
