MRes Design

MRes Design (Master of Research) is a highly flexible research degree for students who wish to pursue a specific topic area in depth, rather than taking a traditional taught degree. It aims to develop design-literate individuals in applying a range of research and creative methods to achieve robust design solutions that address the challenges of design, innovation, and sustainability in the 21st century. For 2010-11 entry, three bursaries are available to cover tuitions fees at UK/EU levels (£4,170). Please contact Professor Stuart Walker for more details.
