Course summary

Find out more about our MPhil/PhD in Global Sustainable Development.

Our MPhil/PhD in Global Sustainable Development (GSD) offers you the opportunity to cross disciplinary boundaries to address complex challenges of global sustainable development. Working with experts from Warwick’s GSD Department and the Institute for Global Sustainable Development (IGSD) you will deliver impactful lasting sustainable development research.

Course overview

There is a global need for researchers who are skilled in challenge-led transdisciplinary methods to help close knowledge gaps around research and practice related to the sustainability of human-environment interactions.

Our Global Sustainable Development MPhil/PhD is for those driven to develop innovative approaches to complex challenges of sustainable development. With the support of a supervisory team you will work on a transdisciplinary project addressing a sustainability challenge.

Through structured training you will be equipped to integrate methods and perspectives from different academic and practice fields to address current and future sustainable development challenges. In the first year you will have the opportunity to undertake postgraduate module(s) and establish a personal development plan in collaboration with your supervisors.

Throughout the programme you will have the opportunity to gain methods training designed to broaden your research approach. Collectively this training will prepare you to co-produce transformative transdisciplinary research projects.

We are excited to welcome students with diverse backgrounds and skills to this programme.

Teaching and learning

Students on this course will be trained to have competence in a subject area that spans at least two disciplinary perspectives. You will be trained in transdisciplinary methods enabling you to draw on skills from multiple disciplines to work effectively and equitably with non-academic partners.

In the first year you will have the opportunity to study postgraduate module(s) in GSD and/or from across the University totalling 20 CATS. You will discuss which module(s) you would like to take with your supervisors in the early stages of your research.
