PhD Programme at CEPMLP

At CEPMLP we have a well-established, innovative, and rigorous PhD programme. Doctoral research is part and parcel of overall Centre research and training activities, and most PhD research involves different aspects of the natural resources industry (energy, petroleum, and mining) from economic, legal-regulatory, and often multidisciplinary perspectives. Reflecting the major concerns of our times, there is also growing research interest in the law and policy of renewable energy and climate change issues.

Admissions

• Applicants should have a taught Masters degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline
• Candidates should supply a 3-4 page outline of their proposed research topic (general area of interest). For guidance, our Website contains a section on established research themes on which the Centre's academic staff are currently working. It might help to relate your proposal to one of the existing research themes.
