Course summary

Study Interdisciplinary Studies PhD at Warwick's innovative and diverse Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies. With tailored guidance and through an interdisciplinary approach you will develop research expertise and an accompanying skillset.

Course Overview

An interdisciplinary PhD at CIM allows you to conduct research in more than one area of inquiry and/or methodology across innovative fields such as complexity science digital media research data visualization cultural economy science and technology studies digital sociology and environmental humanities. It will allow you to do research that might not fit easily in a traditional PhD programme.

An interdisciplinary study does not mean that you are ‘free floating’ or that you will not have identifiable expertise at the end of your study. It means that you will develop and acquire research expertise and an accompanying skillset that crosses more than one discipline and the ability to engage with and contribute to broader interdisciplinary discussions within and beyond the university.

While CIM is not the only place where interdisciplinary study is possible there are very few places where the development of interdisciplinary methodology is the focus. In CIM you will benefit from tailored guidance from academics and professional staff with experience and expertise in the challenges of interdisciplinary research.
