Ph.D in Design

This doctoral programme at DIT University lets scholars carry out original research in design, working under the guidance of a faculty supervisor. Candidates are expected to define a research problem, build a sound methodology and present their findings in a thesis that adds to knowledge in the discipline. Admission rests on a master's qualification in the relevant discipline. Applicants without a national-level eligibility test score are considered through merit-based counselling at the university followed by a personal interview, while those holding a recognised qualifying score are assessed through the interview alone. The length of study follows the university's Ph.D. ordinance, with the period counted from enrolment until the thesis is submitted. Scholars register online and pay tuition in two instalments.
