Overview
The PhD research in Design at the University of Brighton is is embedded within an active research community whose supervisory support extends from core design academics and practice experts to wider expertise from around the university.
Key facts
- Through this we encourage a varied and personal approach to a postgraduate research degree in design and embrace the many ways in which design researchers can work.
- Experimentation, trialling, testing, considering, making... we don't expect a PhD project to be looking for clear answers to clear questions or to know from the start exactly which directions it might take. Doctorates in design are a journey and we're there to help you every step of the way.
