Sustainable Resources

Entry requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, in a relevant subject, is essential. Exceptionally: where applicants have other suitable research or professional experience, they may be admitted without a Master's degree; or where applicants have a lower second-class UK Honours Bachelor's degree (2:2) (or equivalent) they must possess a relevant Master's degree to be admitted. We expect any successful application to include a sufficiently strong and convincing proposal, and those holding a Master's degree are typically well prepared to provide one. Relevant work experience is highly desirable.

The cross-disciplinary UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources (ISR) conducts research, teaching and enterprise work on the sustainable use of natural resources, with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals. Our strong links to industry, policymakers and other academic institutions provide an excellent foundation for PhD study.

Our research is built around five intersecting themes:

• Abiotic resources
• Biotic resources
• Definitions and indicators of sustainable resource use
• Green economy
• Resource efficiency
