Overview
The Tourism and Hospitality programme offered at University of Brighton will allow you to join researchers who undertake intellectually rigorous research that contributes towards the theoretical, methodological and applied development of travel and tourism.
Research supervision for your PhD:
- Supervisory expertise spans a range of disciplinary approaches to the PhD study of tourism, hospitality and events. These include human geography, development studies, sociology, anthropology, marketing and business, cultural studies and political science.
- Much of our work has real-world application and staff are well-connected to a variety of international development agencies (i.e. UNWTO, World Bank, UN), public, private and third sectors organisations.
- Research supervision will normally comprise two members of academic staff with a maximum of three. Depending on your research specialism you may also have an additional supervisor from another school, another research institution, or an external partner from the tourism and hospitality industries.
- You will establish your supervisor from the early stages of application and they will support you throughout your programme of study, helping you to carry out your research and prepare for the next stage of your career.
