PhD in Architecture MPhil/PhD

Research in the Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment spans the cultural, social and spatial character of built environments and communities, architectural history and theory, urban design, environmental design and sustainable built environments — an interdisciplinary community addressing what practitioners actually face.

Assessment is by final thesis plus, depending on the award, written or oral testimony. Unusually flexible entry: October, February and May starts. MPhil 18–32 months, PhD 27–48 months full-time.
