What you will study

Our community of design practitioners and researchers welcome proposals that outline practical and theoretical approaches to PhD design research, proposals that explore new territory, whether through experimental practices, archival research or engagement with urgent global challenges. Your study could be grounded in existing disciplinary conventions, or it may be situated in broader social, cultural or political concerns. What matters to us is a commitment to advancing design as a way of knowing, questioning and intervening in the world.
