The Intelligent Mobility research programme explores novel vehicle types, services, and integrated city solutions. Building on the RCA’s world-leading Intelligent Mobility MA programme, the Intelligent Mobility MPhil/PhD programme promotes critical and thoughtful research and design in the development of future mobility. It provides a design-led disruptive research environment focusing on new ways of designing vehicles, experiences, spaces and infrastructure that address societal issues. We welcome in particular proposals aligned to one or more of our Intelligent Mobility Design Centre studios, approaching mobility distinct yet complementary perspectives. The Automotive Transitions Studio focus is on vehicle design and studies the car as part of a wider socio-cultural context. The studio investigates new automotive design paradigms which are ecologically safe, socially just, economically inclusive, and more meaningful and enriching at personal level. The People and Places Studio approaches mobility from an integrated systems perspective and explores future urban mobility services the design of mobility environments, experiences and the development of mass transport within our urban and extended environments.
The programme welcomes applications from candidates from across the world and of all ages, including those with academic and professional backgrounds.
Applications are considered in terms of quality of proposal, quality of practice (where appropriate), readiness to undertake a research degree at this level and supervisory capacity.
