MSc / DPhil programmes

Applications for DPhils at the Smith School must be made through the School of Geography and the Environment DPhil programme. Explore their webpages for details on how to apply.

To become affiliated with the Smith School, your supervisor must be a member of the Smith School faculty. Applicants are encouraged to contact a potential supervisor to discuss a research proposal before applying.

Your application should indicate the name of the potential supervisor(s). If your application does not mention a specific supervisor, but the research proposal is within the remit of the Smith School, it will still be considered.

While the Smith School team are happy to give advice and discuss potential supervision, all application decisions are made through the School of Geography and the Environment.

Current Doctoral (DPhil) Research Students

The international and interdisciplinary nature of the Smith School's science and research is reflected in the range of postgraduate research topics our graduate students undertake. Please see our Graduate Students webpage to find out more.

Our MSc programmes are all part of the Oxford 1+1 Programme which enables exceptional students to combine their MSc with the MBA at Saïd Business School. The MSc will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the complex dynamic between environment, society and markets, based on theory and factual evidence. This specialist expertise combined with the enhanced management skills gained from an MBA will equip you with the depth and breadth of understanding the world needs, and that employers seek.

Candidates for the Oxford 1+1 Programme must meet the admissions requirements for both programmes and be admitted separately to both. If you are submitting an application to the 1+1 programme:
