UWS are delighted to be offering a fully funded Vice Chancellor’s PhD Studentship, hosted within SPARC. This project will investigate the housing crisis, exploring the impacts of budget cuts, second home ownership, and proposed local government powers over short-term lets and vacant properties. The research aims to contribute to international discussions on rural sustainability, housing governance, and balancing local housing needs with tourism.


Building on UWS expertise in policy and migration, the PhD will engage with potential themes including but not excluded to: housing budget cuts; second home ownership and community development; plans to increase local government powers over short-term lets and vacant properties; landownership and housing development, interlinks between housing, rural migration and mobility.
