The PhD experience with Plymouth has been very, very positive. I was surprised how quickly my project took form and was given a clear direction - it’s evolved quickly, and I am very pleased with that.

For a business, funding a PhD is a fantastic way to get impartial information and answers to a problem that they don’t have the resources for. A PhD is an economic way of accessing a huge amount of in-kind advice from the academic supervisory team.

Sarah Williams, Biodiversity and Wetland Project Manager, Wessex Water

It is great working with University of Plymouth on this restoration of Moorlinch SSSI as we can see the influence of nutrients in wetland pools and scrapes, whether they are connected or not to the ditch systems. The findings of the PhD will inform wider work that Wessex Water and other organisations are undertaking to address elevated concentrations of nutrients in the Somerset Levels and Moors.
