Leading to a PhD in Architecture, the MPhil/PhD by Architectural Design allows especially able and reflective designers to undertake research within the Bartlett School of Architecture's speculative and experimental ethos. The first to be established in the UK, the Bartlett MPhil/PhD by Architectural Design is one of few such doctoral programmes world-wide. The programme draws on the strengths of design teaching and doctoral research at the Bartlett, encouraging the development of architectural research through the interaction of designing and writing. A Research by Architectural Design thesis has two inter-related elements of equal importance: a project and a text. The project may be drawn, filmed, modelled, built, or use whatever media is appropriate. UCL’s multi-disciplinary environment offers a stimulating and varied research culture that connects research by architectural design to developments in other disciplines, such as medicine, art and digital media. The programme is intended for graduates of architecture and other disciplines, such as art, who wish to pursue research by architectural design. Currently enrolled on the programme are 29 students from over 10 countries. Dr Jonathan Hill and Dr Jane Rendell organise a biannual research conference that includes speakers from the UK and overseas. In 2002 the theme was ‘Opposites Attract: Research by Design’. In November 2004 it will be ‘Critical Architecture’. For the PhD programme in Architectural History and Theory, see the Bartlett Graduate Guide.
