By Katie Fewings • Jul 13th, 2010 • Category: Uncategorized

The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Newcastle University is offering 3 funded studentships for doctoral research to begin in September 2010, including one on ‘Planning for Small Town Growth’.

This study will reflect on the opportunities and threats of focusing housing development within small towns and look at policy responses which can better locate and manage development to produce more desirable outcomes.

This studentship would suit someone with a good knowledge of planning issues and an interest in rural growth.

See more information on the ‘Planning for Small Town Growth’ studentship and the other two studentships.

The deadline for applications is Thursday 22 July 2010.
