Overview
The School of Architecture and Urban Design is widely recognised for innovative leadership and contribution to excellence in design research. At RMIT University we contend that research is conducted through designing and that the process of designing, as a means of increasing knowledge, parallels research in other areas in fascinating ways.
The province of the PhD is the exploration of new territories of design research, contributions to the knowledge base of the discipline, and steps toward the redefinition of aspects of design. The Architecture and Design program also develops advanced technical research skills to prepare you for a career in industry, academia and other settings in which systematic and critical analytical skills are required.
Career
Upon graduation you may pursue an academic career in a university or be employed in senior positions in galleries, museums, festivals, non-government organisations, art organisations, companies, venues and studios.
You will also have the capacity to work as research fellows and postdoctoral research fellows on postdoctoral research projects in university and government organisations.
