Course summary

The University of Brighton took a pioneering role in the development of the sociology of sport and, together with recreation and leisure studies, it has been a key discipline at the university for many decades.Research of international standing and impact has characterised the department throughout this time. Our returns to the Research Excellence Framework demonstrate impactful research projects in sports culture, with our pioneering Football 4 Peace initiative, sports sociology and politics including FIFA governance, fandom and supporter cultures, the use of Britain's waterways for recreation and the importance of exercise cultures to mental health.We welcome students for a PhD in sports culture and PhD in leisure studies, offering an environment that takes a critical perspective on sport, recreation and leisure and develops a public-facing, interventionist social science. All PhD students with an interest in the field are welcomed into our Sport and Leisure Cultures Research Excellence Group.We offer PhD study in both full and part-time modes and welcome students with significant professional experience, who are able to use and share the career skills they have developed, as well as those who have recently completed first degrees and wish to take advantage of their academic momentum.Many of our graduates continue in academia, becoming lecturers or post-doctoral researchers, others have gone into management and consultancy roles or journalism.
