About the Design Research Group

Our group encompasses disciplines across the School of Art and is a place for staff to explore the nature and definitions of design research, and the ways our practices can be framed and contextualised.

We have regular meetings to drive our agenda and desire to be an 'outward facing' group with a supportive atmosphere. Individuals are encouraged in their own research and to develop cross-disciplinary projects.

Our current aims include developing a programme of visiting speakers, group exhibitions and symposia.
