Research Interests
The School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design has three
major areas of research interest and has a strong preference for enrolling higher
degree research candidates in one of those fields. However it may also consider
enrolling students in other fields of architecture and landscape architecture.
The Centre for Asian and Middle-Eastern Architecture (CAMEA) is located in the
School.
Prospective candidates should discuss their proposed area of research with
either the Head and Chair of School or Postgraduate Coordinator to ensure that
the topic comes within the ambit of the areas of expertise of available staff
within the School.
