Design (MPhil/PhD)

Introduction

The School of Design is home to internationally significant research, much of which is practice-based. The teaching and research areas of the School – Design Products, Fashion, Global Innovation Design, Innovation Designing Engineering, Healthcare Design, Robotics, Service Design and Textiles – represent a wide range of approaches to design research.

The topics explored by our research students range from those which are strongly user-focused, such as designing new medical innovations or citizen science, through to those which are more experimental, such as designing trust in AI systems or multi-species design.
