Course Summary

This doctoral research degree offers the opportunity to explore and develop practice in relation to environmental issues and is open to those working in the built environment professions of architecture, building and construction, planning, development, engineering, product, industrial and manufacturing design, and others whose work can or could relate specifically to an ecological or sustainable built environment.


The Professional Doctorate is a validated by the University of Wales and is managed and delivered in collaborative provision between the Graduate School for the Environment and the University of Wales Institute Cardiff's School of Art & Design (CSAD). CAT is regarded as Europe's leading eco-centre and has been engaged in research in environment and sustainability for over 30 years. CSAD dates back nearly 140 years and its graduates have become fine artists, designers, architects and professionals in the creative industries.


The degree recognises a contribution at doctoral level to professional knowledge, products or processes, and which is at the forefront of the discipline. Unlike a traditional PhD the Professional Doctorate is based largely around practice, with short attendance periods at either GSECAT or UWIC. Modules include seminars, lectures, workshops, tutorials, presentations and other research events at CAT and UWIC, with a dedicated Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to support candidates throughout.
