University of Geneva
With the supervision of a director, the doctoral candidate carries out a personal research, which requires several years of continuous intellectual effort. Apart from a basis of solid knowledge, the doctoral thesis demands the candidate's skill to lead a long-term project, a sound interest in the chosen field of research and a certain originality of thought. In general, the doctoral thesis gives way to publications of several articles in specialized reviews, or even of a book.

Kings College London
The Department of Geography has a vibrant community of scholars - most are members of one of four research groups: Cities; Environment, Politics & Development; Environmental Monitoring & Modelling. Some members of each of these groups are also members of the multidisciplinary Hazards & Risk group. Staff research also ranges well beyond those groups and involves both individual scholarship and colleagues in other institutions as well as the department. These groups operate through staff-funded research and PhD student collaboration on research projects. The research themes providing the central focus of our international reputation centre on: cultural, political and social change in cities; urban governance and public policy in cities; urban sustainability; environment and development in low-income locations; monitoring and modelling of terrestrial environmental processes and investigations of the politics of environmental policy.
