The first of its kind in the UK, this new postgraduate research programme combines innovative design research with critical analysis in Landscape Architecture.
Landscape Architecture research, which combines creative practice with analytical written research. Candidates complete both a 60,000 word thesis as well as design research, using two or three-dimensional mixed media.
The design methods include, but are not limited to, the production of landscape representations through:
Drawing
Film
Modelling
Programming
This programme builds upon the department’s existing PhD programme and creates new opportunities for creative research methods.
We welcome applications from Landscape Architecture and a range of landscape related fields including Architecture, Urbanism, and Fine Art. A Doctorate by Design can lead to careers in academia, Landscape Architecture and urbanism practice, design consultancy and public sector leadership.
We select research students based primarily on their academic ability. This is usually decided on the basis of academic performance to date. This means that you will need at least an Upper Second Class Honours degree (or its equivalent) and will also need to have (or be doing) an MA at a university recognised by the admissions department.
