1.0k PhD programmes in Environmental Studies & Earth Sciences
Marine-Estuarine-Environmental Sciences
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) offers a graduate program leading to the degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Marine-Estuarine-Environmental Sciences (MEES).
Environment Engineering
The main objective of the Environment Engineering programme at Instituto Superior Técnicois to provide the students with advanced and high quality education in the Environmental Sciences and Technologies, enabling them with the capacity to develop research work at academic or enterprise levels.
Ecoscience
The Department of Bioscience from Aarhus University conducts both basic research in a range of biological disciplines and research-based public sector consultancy in the areas of environmental management of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Currently the research activities at the department are organized in 11 sections in which Department of Ecoscience offers PhD studies.
Learning, Teaching and Learning Environments Research
The Doctoral Programme on Learning, Teaching and Learning Environments Research at University of Turku (OPPI) trains internationally oriented, professional researchers and experts in learning, teaching and learning environments, who promote scientific evidence-based development in different fields of education.
Plant Science and Policy
The PSC PhD Program in Plant Science and Policy at the ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is designed for researchers in the natural sciences wishing to acquire additional tools at the interfaces of research, policy, and diverse stakeholders. The program is open to motivated students in the life sciences, environmental sciences, earth sciences and agricultural sciences.
Geography - Earth System Sciences
At the centre of the Geography - Earth System Sciences program offered at the University of Zurich is a written dissertation describing an original, independent scientific research project.
Geosciences
The Department of Geosciences at Princeton University, together with its affiliated interdepartmental programs and institutes, serves as Princeton’s central focus for the Earth, atmospheric, oceanographic and environmental sciences.
Natural Resources and Environment
Research in the Natural Resources and Environment programme of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia is carried out in a field focusing on the use of available geological resources from a perspective that seeks to minimise related environmental impact.
Geophysics
Geophysics is a hybrid discipline uniquely devoted to applying physical principles and methods to studying Earth’s and other planets’ complex systems (processes and properties). The program at Stanford University is designed to provide a background of fundamentals in science and courses to coordinate these fundamentals with the principles of geophysics.
Earth Sciences
Participation in the Earth Sciences Doctoral Programme at the ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology provides a stimulating introduction to independent research on a scientific frontier.
Sciences of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering
This Sciences of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering programme is offered at the University of Padua.
Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management
The PhD programme in Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management is offered by Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).
Science
The Science programme offered by Aalto University develops advanced research expertise in scientific discovery, technological innovation, quantitative analysis, and interdisciplinary problem-solving across fields such as physics, mathematics, computer science, biomedical engineering, and industrial engineering and management.
Toxicology
The Ph.D. in Toxicology program from Colorado State University focuses on gaining in-depth knowledge of the effects of chemicals and other potentially harmful agents on the health of the environment, humans, and animals, and requires that students make a unique research contribution to the field.
Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society
This Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society PhD programme from Heriot-Watt University Dubai has an inherently strong research culture with research students making a highly valued contribution to School’s overall research profile.
Urban Sustainability and Resilience
The Urban Sustainability and Resilience programme at University College London (UCL) provides students with the opportunity to tackle a challenging research problem identified by industry as critical to improving our urban environment and our wellbeing.
Human Toxicology
Join the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Human Toxicology at The University of Iowa. Early Priority is mid-December.
Geology
Students are required to pass a comprehensive examination. The examination includes both written and oral components in which individuals are tested on their knowledge of their intended research area and related fields. The candidate is expected to be conversant across a wide range of the geological sciences. The Geology program is offered by the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
Marine Biology and Ecology
The mission of the Marine Biology and Ecology (MBE) PhD program at the University of Miami, is to train the next generation of scientists in the fundamental skills, knowledge, and practice of biology of the oceanic environment.
Natural Resources - Watershed Management and Ecohydrology
The study of the Natural Resources - Watershed Management and Ecohydrology program from The University of Arizona includes all the biological and physical processes of ecosystems - knowledge needed for sustainable use of rangelands as well as management of the diverse and complex systems that they support.
