What will I learn?

Student PhD research in design at the University of Brighton is embedded within an active research community whose supervisory support extends to expertise from around the university including craft and decorative arts practices, 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 projects in Brighton that have included: sustainable design, design for health and wellbeing, product design, contemporary textiles and digital user-experience.

Entry requirements

For international students

The entry requirements for the PhD are: a recognised Master’s degree with a significant research component, for example MPhil from another university, or similar qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant or substantial appropriate research or professional experience at postgraduate level which resulted in published work, written reports or other appropriate evidence of accomplishment. An application made by someone with this experience will be considered on its merits and will normally require independent academic references or, unless a School exercises their right to specify more stringent entry requirements, we may consider a first or upper second honours degree or other qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant. Research degrees in Arts and Humanities and Health Professions require 7.0 overall, 7 for writing, and none below 6.5.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
