The Practice-based PhD is aimed at practitioners operating within or across the broad range of disciplines represented in the faculty, from architecture and design to planning and construction. Early and mid-career, as well as senior practitioners, will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge, skills and methodologies they have developed in the field within a broader framework of critical and rigorous scholarly enquiry. In turn, the expanded range of interrogative, analytical and evaluative skills developed during the course of their candidatures should directly enhance their own practice. A Practice-based PhD is available across all disciplines represented in the Faculty of Built Environment: Architecture, City Planning, Computational Design, Construction Management and Property, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture and Landscape Architecture. In the same way as a traditional PhD, the primary aim of the Practice-based PhD is to contribute new knowledge to the field through systematic investigation. It is expected that the candidate will generate a new body of ideas-based/creative work (the Project) and a written work (the Dissertation) that together will make an original contribution to knowledge within the field. Typical duration 3 to 4 Years
