Dear colleagues,

The University of Oxford is delighted to announce the launch of a new part-time DPhil (PhD) in Sustainable Urban Development <http://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/DSUD> . We would be grateful if list members would share this information with students, colleagues and associates for whom it will be of interest.
The DPhil is a research doctorate, which culminates in a substantive academic thesis and performance in a viva voce. Successful candidates will have a very strong academic record and will show great aptitude through their academic proposal. Throughout their period of study, candidates will join a wider international community of students, tutors, researchers and practitioners engaged with Sustainable Urban Development.
The DPhil operates in conjunction with the flagship part-time MSc in Sustainable Urban Development <http://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/msud> , delivered in partnership with the Prince's Foundation for Building Community and recognised under the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors University Partnership.

The Oxford-Prince’s Foundation Graduate Scholarship
Applications are invited for a fully-funded scholarship available at Kellogg College for the DPhil in Sustainable Urban Development. This funding has been set up with the aim of researching the economic impact, broadly defined, of the Coed Darcy oil refinery conversion project and the associated Swansea University Campus development located close to Neath Port Talbot in South Wales. This scholarship is made possible by a generous donation from the Prince’s Foundation and the support of the University. Please visit the Oxford Graduate Scholarships website <http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/fees-and-funding/graduate-scholarships/university-wide-scholarships/oxford-graduate-scholarships/oxford-princes-foundation-graduate-scholarships> for more information and how to apply.
