Built environment PhD

University of Brighton

For over 35 years, the University of Brighton has brought innovation and impact through its research in architecture, built environment, construction technology, architectural humanities and interior architecture. At Brighton, a real-world approach blends with rigorous scholarly practice and the professional underpinning of industry-experienced staff. Our Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) submissions across architecture, design, engineering and construction have demonstrated the world-leading and internationally significant work of expert staff working in architecture, urban design, sustainable practices and architectural history and theory as well as showcasing long-term impactful projects in sustainable architecture and urban agriculture. The city itself has a unique architectural history. Brighton and Hove has witnessed constant debate, experimentation, pressures and challenges to its spaces. With the ever-growing City of London only a short distance away by train, your student life will be spent in an environment that has been designed, built and grown between a busy tourist seafront and the South Downs National Park, with inspiration along every street.
