Games Design PhD Programme

We have a thriving PhD programme devoted to the academic study of games from a range of perspectives. Few of the current PhD candidates have a academic degrees in games, but that is likely to changes as more scholars turn their attention to games. We welcome anyone looking to undertake a PhD either as a full-time or part-time student with a strong research proposal in games. We are also looking to grow our post-doc community and welcome applications for potential projects. We hold regular research meetings, many PhD students attend the MA classes and we encourage PhDs to participate in the teaching at BA and MA level. Our dedicated lab also gives students a base from which to work and this also supports a strong community culture.
