MPhil Design

Funding has been obtained from sources such as the EPSRC, AHRC, British Council, Momenta (Knowledge Transfer Partnerships), AGIS and the European Commission. Members of the Design Innovation and Socially Responsible Design research cluster include both senior proactive researchers and emerging embryonic researchers with multi-disciplinary backgrounds. All are engaged in both theory and practice, in a wide ranging spectrum of activity across design research. Key researchers in this cluster were returned successfully to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, and will continue to contribute towards the Research Excellence Framework 2014. A good proportion of our output is case-based and therefore more easily captured and already incorporates evaluation and impact analyses for the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework return. Much of the work in this cluster focuses on generating such research outcomes from enterprise activity.
