The School of Design and Creative Arts invites applications for fully funded studentships. We are seeking motivated, talented, focused individuals to contribute to our world-leading research and innovation community. The School is committed to widening participation and would welcome applications from individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Studentship recipients will address one of the University’s three strategic themes:
Health, Wellbeing and Sport The School has expertise in ergonomics and human factors, design for health, inclusive design (especially with regards to disability) and creative approaches to wellbeing in visual art, theatre and storytelling. Staff consistently break through barriers to wellbeing, whether in the transport industry or providing creative interventions for those with hidden disabilities.
Climate Change and Net Zero Sustainability is central to the School ethos, exemplified by staff research, including in areas such as packaging design, sustainable fashion and textiles, circular economy, and responsible design. We also have expertise in new ways to understand ecology through speculative futures and non-human subjects.
Vibrant and Inclusive Communities SDCA prioritises work that celebrates diversity and amplifies marginalised voices, whether that be through global textile design, visual art practice, disability arts, digital technology, or applied storytelling. Healthy aging and women’s health are particular overarching themes.
The School welcomes applications that are transdisciplinary in approach and, where appropriate, welcome practice-as-research and applied methodologies. We invite applicants to check the School website to identify potential supervisors and research specialisms.
