In order to strengthen the students’ interdisciplinary skills, on application, students will be required to locate their proposed research in (at least) one of 7 thematic clusters which have evolved from the previous Thematic Cluster Pathways in the SCDTP, ESRC priorities, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals:
- Sustainability & Resilience
- Health & Wellbeing
- Citizenship & Security
- Population & Policy
- Learning & Behaviour
- Innovation & Enterprise
- Data Skills & Methods
These clusters will be kept under regular review to ensure that students’ research interests are reflected.
