1 School of Design Research Degrees - PhD; MPhil; MA/MSc by Research

2 Research Degrees in the School of Design PhD; MPhil; MA/MSc by Research The School of Design is internationally renowned for its research activities, which span textile design; technical textile science and technology; colour technology; fashion design; graphic design; multi-media and animation; design management and contemporary art practices. The School of Design achieved outstanding results in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), with over 63% of research rated either 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent. More than 80% of technical textiles research, which forms part of general engineering at the University of Leeds, was rated as internationally excellent or better, with an overall ranking of third in the country after Oxford and Cambridge. The School s art and design research was also ranked in the upper quartile of universities in the country. As a postgraduate student in the School of Design, you will find yourself in a research-intensive, dynamic environment, located in the heart of the University campus. You will become part of a lively postgraduate culture which attracts researchers from all over the world. Course outline The School of Design s research portfolio encompasses both creative and technical aspects of design, led by experienced research academics. You may undertake fundamental or applied research relating to a broad range of specialist areas. The research interests of staff include: technical textiles and nonwoven fabric technology; textile design; colour technology; dyeing and finishing; textile chemistry; sustainable design and green chemistry; design technology; fashion design; graphic design; sculpture; painting; print-making; digital media; design management; design theory; multimedia; animation and other areas of visual communication. Joining the School of Design as a research student will enable you to work with experienced researchers from many fields of activity, in a supportive and exciting research environment. Research centres As a student of the School you will become a member of one or more research centres. The School s research is conducted in three main research centres spanning technical textile science and technology, colour design technology and visual communications. Centre for Technical Textiles Fundamental and applied research is conducted in most areas of textiles with a particular focus on the engineering design, manufacture and characterisation of textile materials. These research activities promote interdisciplinary collaboration in all science and engineering fields related to technical textiles. Laboratory facilities include polymer extrusion, spinning, weaving, knitting, nonwovens, dyeing and finishing and testing, including the characterisation of high performance textile materials. Centre for Colour Design Technology This is an interdisciplinary research centre that brings together researchers interested in colour, with expertise in colour vision, imaging, textiles, graphics and design. Colour measurement and characterisation, the psychology of colour perception, as well as general aspects of colour physics and technology, are the core research interests of the centre. The growth of digital imaging is particularly important and is reflected in current research activities. Visual Communication Centre The centre s research expertise is in design, contemporary art practice and affiliated research fields and it operates industry recognised software and hardware, attracting researchers

3 from all over the world. The centre has the flexibility and depth of research expertise to respond to individual student interests, while fully reflecting external contextual trends in design, contemporary art practice and affiliated fields. Other unique resources include the University of Leeds International Textiles Archive (ULITA), which collects and preserves textiles and other design material from the major textile producing areas of the world. The centre focuses on ethnographic and historic textiles, with particular emphasis on techniques of production, as well as motifs, patterns and other forms of decoration. Facilities The School has excellent specialist design studios, research laboratories, pilot-scale machinery and library resources to support the various research specialisms offered. Extensive facilities include laboratories for technical textiles and nonwovens, high performance testing, colour design and technology, dyeing and finishing, colour and textile chemistry; and specialist studios for textile design, multi-media and animation, graphic design, sculpture and painting. Research programmes Research degree programmes support your personal development as well as the development of your subject knowledge and research skills. You will have access to a varied programme of formal training sessions designed to support personal development and competence in generic and transferable skills. Every student has at least one supervisor, who draws on their personal expertise and subject knowledge, to guide your work and give encouragement and critical advice. Your supervisor will advise on appropriate training and the preparation and submission of the written thesis that presents your research and conclusions in detail. The PhD requires three years full-time study, undertaking a research project of originality, significance and scope. A thesis of approximately 100,000 words must be submitted within a maximum of four years from the date of registration. MA/MSc by Research Our MA/MSc by Research programme enables students to pursue their own programme of research in collaboration with a suitably qualified supervisor, within one of the broad range of specialist areas covered by the School. Candidates should have identified and, to some extent, already prepared a subject. Projects should be clearly defined and planned before study commences, due to the nature of the degree. The subject should be original and significant, as well as sufficiently specific for it to be researched and written up, in the form of a thesis of around 30,000 words, within one year (or two years of part-time study). PhD and MPhil A PhD is the most internationally recognised research qualification. Studying for a PhD allows you to become an expert in your chosen specialist area and gain high quality research training, that will equip you

4 to undertake subsequent research projects. The PhD and MPhil research programmes can be studied on either a full-time, part-time or split-site basis. Part-time students study over a period of five years, with a maximum time limit for submission of the thesis of seven years from the date of registration. The period of registration would normally be two years full-time or four years part-time for the MPhil. For the first year of study (or two years if part-time) you will be enrolled as a provisional PhD student. During this period, with the help of your supervisor, you will develop your research by attending research training courses, undertaking a critical review of literature and commencing your investigative studies, as applicable. You are then required to attend the transfer viva, where your research is discussed by a panel of examiners, who assess your progress and provide feedback and advice on the progress of your work. After successfully completing this process, you are formally registered as a full PhD student. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded on the basis of the thesis and your performance in the viva voce examination, where you present and discuss the rationale, methods and findings of your original study. The MPhil is awarded on the basis of a thesis of around 60,000 words and a viva voce examination. Alternative forms of PhD and MPhil submission are available for practiceled research projects. These projects require a written commentary to accompany the research submission. This will provide an account of the research question(s) and discuss the manner in which the research is embodied within the practice. Entry requirements Research degree candidates normally hold a first-class or upper secondclass honours degree, or equivalent qualification, in a subject relevant to their proposed field of research; a degree at postgraduate level or relevant professional experience, and an approved research proposal. Candidates with other relevant experience/qualifications may be considered. Prospective students are advised to consult the School website for information about the research interests of staff and the wide range of supervisory expertise available. Overseas candidates will normally be expected to have obtained an IELTS score of 6.0 (with at least 5.5 in Listening and Reading and 5.0 in Speaking and Writing skills), or an equivalent English Language qualification.

5 The earlier you make your application, the better - especially if delays are likely in obtaining a visa or making the necessary financial arrangements. You can complete your application on-line or by downloading and completing a paper-based form. This should be accompanied by all the necessary supporting documentation. Funding Some of our students are self-funded, whilst many others are in receipt of scholarships from external sources, such as UK Research Councils, industrial sponsors, or charitable organisations.
