- 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. 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.
