Regional Economic and Social Research

You will be part of the University’s community of researchers, with the opportunity to attend and/or contribute to a range of discipline, college and University-wide presentations, training and conferences. We offer a Regional Economic and Social Research degree at the Sheffield Hallam University.

We recognise that doctoral researchers arrive with a diversity of skills and experience. Therefore, we provide flexible training and development opportunities covering a range of research-related skills.

Key facts

• Indicative areas include transferable skills, research ethics and integrity (mandatory), data management, teaching skills and career planning.

• Your development needs are identified and agreed with your supervisory team at the start of your Regional Economic and Social Research degree at Sheffield Hallam University , and reviewed and updated as appropriate.

Courses include

• PhD researchers in CRESR also benefit from the Centre’s involvement with the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership.

• This partnership provides a range of training, collaboration and networking opportunities for PhD researchers.

• Candidates will therefore become part of cross-institution cohorts of high-achieving postgraduate researchers with similar research interests.

• Your supervisory team will include a Director of Studies and one or more second supervisors with expertise and interest in your research area.

• However, much of the work for your degree will be carried out independently, and you will need the initiative, motivation and commitment to succeed.
