Course summary

For over 30 years, the University of Brighton has brought innovation and impact through research in built environment, architecture and interior architecture.

From investigating the energy efficiency and performance of buildings, to examining the interrelationships between people, natural resources and the built environment, sustainable urban living to architectural humanities, our staff and PhD students are at the leading edge of empirical and theoretical research into building design and construction. We are also working to understand the shifting nature of education in the built environment to adapt to an ever-changing industry.

We welcome PhD proposals that have real-world application as much of our research is in fields of practical impact. Data generated by researchers in our Construction Engineering and Management Research and Enterprise Group is being used, for example, to enhance the design of double-skin facades on buildings in order to improve their thermal performance, and to assess the impact of construction methods upon the provision of climate resilient affordable housing in Nigeria and Uganda, while the University of Brighton's Waste House continues to provide a living laboratory of sustainable architectural and building research.

Our Built environment PhD and Architecture PhD students have gone on to a variety of different roles following the successful completion of their research. These include academic posts as lecturers and postdoctoral research assistants at Brighton and elsewhere, plus research roles in, for example, the construction industry. Many have gone on to positions in industry, for example as senior consultants for facilities management contractors and as directors of construction companies.

You may wish to consider the Architectural Research MRes as an introduction to research in aspects of these disciplines, blending a taught element with a substantial research project.
