PhD Postgraduate Research in Art and Design

The PhD in Art and Design is offered either as a full-time programme lasting four years, or as a part-time route spread over eight years. Full-time students progress through defined milestones – coursework, research training, and dissertation – while part-time candidates follow a similar sequence at a slower pace, allowing concurrent professional commitments.

The course is aimed at graduates who already hold a relevant master’s qualification and wish to produce original research that contributes to contemporary debates in fine art, design, media and related practice-led fields. It suits applicants with a clear research proposal, a portfolio of artistic work, and the ambition to develop specialist expertise for careers in academia, arts administration, or creative industries.
