Ph.D. in Planning Research Degrees

A built environment Ph.D. can be a pathway to a career in a wide range of related professions, especially in management roles – or in the academic world. If you’re already in such a role, the Ph.D. is a major piece of personal development, developing new knowledge and building skills for your next career step. Birmingham City University has been a major center for built environment education in the region, and a Ph.D. study builds on our expertise and professional and industry networks.

We cover the major built environment disciplines including surveying, project management, facilities management, planning, real estate, and civil engineering. We are interested in interdisciplinary research building links to areas including engineering, computing, health, law, and others.
