About Program
Program Overview
The PhD in Design Innovation is the highest degree offered by the Department of Design Innovation. The structured PhD programme offers a framework which facilitates independent research, whilst providing milestones for measuring progress.
Students will be equipped with methodological and analytical tools for advanced research in Design Innovation through a number of taught modules across the Faculty. These will be supplemented by periodic one-on-one supervision meetings. Students will also have opportunities to actively engage in other aspects of academic writing and publishing during the course of their education.
We are cognisant of the variety of expertise and experience within the context of Design Innovation and therefore are open to discussing various formats of theses suitable to the PhD in Design Innovation award, for example, a PhD by publication may be more suitable for some than a traditional PhD thesis.
Program Outline
In addition to developing their own research topic with their supervisor(s), students will be required to take 30 credits worth of modules over the duration of their programme of doctoral research. 15 of these will be generic/transferable modules offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences, and 15 in subject/specialist modules which are being developed by the Department.
Annual progress reviews are part of the PhD programme and completion of requisite modules will be taken into account when assessing student progress. Students will not be permitted to submit their thesis (or equivalent) for examination without having accumulated the required number of credits.
Course Duration: 3-6 years (full-time)/4-8 years (part-time)
