PhD Design

Doctoral study in design and architecture at the University of Brighton is embedded within an active research community whose supervisory support extends from architecture and design to expertise from around the university including art, textiles, engineering and medicine in both theory and practice-based design research.

You will join an academic community whose research encompasses applied and theoretical approaches in equal measure, much of it marked by interdisciplinarity and international cooperation, through leadership and participation in major grant projects.

We have nurtured research students through to successful careers, with Design PhD and Architecture PhD projects in Brighton that have included: sustainable design, sustainable architecture and urban living; contemporary textiles and digital user-experience.
