Overview
The Atmospheric Sciences and Air Pollution doctorate from the University of Birmingham typically lasts for four years and combines a broad foundation in atmospheric science and air pollution through taught and assessed coursework. With the full research training and experience of a traditional PhD, you will pursue your own research interests in a tightly-focused area.
This programme provides students with professional skills required for careers in professional education and research, and for senior positions in public and private sector organisations. They help research students to produce publications arising from their work and encourage them to publish as single authors when appropriate.
Many research students are aiming for academic careers and they recognise the importance of providing opportunities for them to be involved in teaching and tutorial work, without compromising their obligations as research students.
