“Like most things in life, you will get out of the programme what you put into it. Budget a lot of time to dive into the readings, to reach out to your colleagues, and have discussions with the excellent faculty. If you do this and bring an open mind, you can look back on your time at Oxford as some of your most fulfilling and intellectually stimulating days. I will always recall the programme fondly, and I have pride in putting so much of myself into facing the complex challenges posed by Sustainable Urban Development.”

“The SUD DPhil is an exceptionally rewarding experience, both academically and personally. The research will challenge you in a positive way and you will come away with much more than a doctorate. As part of the SUD programme you do very much feel like part of a community – despite not living on campus. The advice, support and opportunities from staff are invaluable and you are made to feel part of a much bigger support network during your studies.”
