PhD in Architecture

Ranked 1st for Architecture by the Guardian's 2015 University Guide. The Department welcomes applications from graduates to undertake research towards a PhD in most areas, including History, Theory and Communication, as well as Design, Technology and Environment, but is unable to accept candidates for whom no supervisor is available. Unlike, for example, many North American universities, the Department does not offer a taught PhD programme. Instead, it admits those applicants who meet the academic admissions criteria and whose research interests match those of an available member of the academic staff who is willing to act as the student's supervisor. By the end of the programme, candidates will have acquired excellent skills, experience and knowledge to undertake postdoctoral work (research and teaching) or another related profession.
