Design research is a critical foundation that allows Practice-oriented disciplines like design to grow and remain pertinent only if the faculties or scholars continuously contribute to and expand this domain of knowledge.
Our Doctor of Philosophy program in Design invites motivated faculties, design research practitioners as well as skilled professionals with a zeal for design — to dedicatedly engage with research activities and build some innovation into this flourishing domain of design. It urges scholarly designers to validate techniques, formalize theories and develop some novel methodology which they are working on from years within the scholarly framework. This program also encourages researchers to work in the fertile and innovative fields where design domain intersects with engineering, medical science, arts, and humanities.
