Overview

We have over 100 doctoral students drawn from across the world, many of whom are funded by national research councils and international organisations. With 50 full-time academic staff, we provide specialist supervision on topics that range from climate change and hazards mapping to risk analysis, geocomputation and urban futures.

Features

We have a vibrant seminar series that brings in guest speakers from universities across the world and run workshops to showcase doctoral research projects.

In the Geography Research degree at the King's College London, we also provide a full range of training and support for our PhD students, including opportunities to present your research at national and international conferences.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The Department of Geography has a vibrant community of scholars – most are members of one of six research groups: Contested Development, Earth Observation & Wildfire, Physical & Environmental Geography, Political Ecology, Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services, Risk, Hazard & Society and Urban Futures.

Staff research also ranges well beyond those groups and involves both individual scholarship and colleagues in other institutions, as well as the department.

These groups operate through staff-funded research and PhD student collaboration on research projects.
