ONE Planet offers a cohort-based doctoral training partnership at Newcastle and Northumbria Universities. The Natural and Environmental Research Council (NERC) funds the partnership.

The proximity of Newcastle and Northumbria Universities, within the vibrant city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, allows ONE Planet to provide a series of core activities to best develop the cohort experience, the expertise of our students, and ensure the development of graduates with the required research skills.

Our vision is to provide a training environment that supports, develops, and fosters innovative, transformative ways of working. We aim to produce independent research scientists for the future. You will design the sustainable transdisciplinary responses needed to address intensifying global change. Find out more here.

Our internationally recognised research excellence spans the NERC science remit, including:

Climate and Climate Change
Earth System Processes
Anthropocene
Environmental Informatics

The ONE Planet DTP values individual differences and the diversity that this brings. We ensure that no-one is at a disadvantage because of who they are. We encourage applications from under-represented groups, and requests for flexible study (e.g. part-time) are welcomed.

We are offering applicant Q&A webinars & mentors to help guide you through your application and provide more information about our DTP. Visit here to find out more.

The closing date for applications is 16^th January 2023, with interviews taking place on Friday 10^th February 2023. We will confirm the outcome of awards by the 20^th February 2023.

Please visit our how to apply pages for further details on how you apply to either partner institution.
