NID’s doctoral program

In pursuit of its continued commitment to Design research, NID started a doctoral programme in Design in the year 2017. The goal was to take a step further from the practice of Design so well pursued in its Bachelors and Masters programs into the world of advanced and detailed in-depth research study of particular aspects of Design that might hitherto not have been studied. NID’s PhD programme in Design aims to promote deep reflection, inquiry, and rigour in the development and dissemination of new ideas, expressions and skills in the field of Design and allied fields and contribute new theories and knowledge to Design, Design education and Design practice.

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Design is awarded at NID for advanced study of the creation of innovative solutions/  approaches/ methods/ interfaces for products/ communications/ services/ experiences along with an accompanying thesis that extends the body of knowledge of application of design thinking, process, and practice.

The programme is open to educators and professionals in design and allied fields who wish to reinvent their own practice or knowledge base while pushing the boundaries of the discipline through innovation in practice and create new design theories. The PhD programme at NID aims to be a national and international benchmark for doctoral research in design.

With the scholars of the first batch now graduating with their doctoral degrees, the program is drawing more and more applicants for doctoral pursuit in Design.

Practice- vs Theory-led doctoral research in Design

The PhD programme in Design at NID may be undertaken in one of the following modes:

Practice-led Research: Original investigation undertaken in order to gain new knowledge mostly by means of practice and the outcomes of that practice. Such research includes practice as an integral part of its method and often falls within the general area of action research outcomes accompanied by substantiated claims of originality and contribution to knowledge. Creative outcomes may be in the form of artefacts such as objects, images, film, fashion, music, Design collections, models, samples, prototypes, digital media, performances and exhibitions or other outcomes. The doctoral submissions for this kind of research must include contextualisation of the creative work.

Theory-led Research: Such research would be concerned with the nature of practice and lead to new knowledge that has operational significance for that practice. The main focus is to advance knowledge about practice, or to advance knowledge within practice.  Such research may be fully described in text form in the doctoral thesis.

Part-time vs Full-time engagement

The PhD programme is allowed to be taken up in part-time or full-time formats.

Residence: Full-time candidates are required to be present on campus throughout the duration of their doctoral study period.

Duration: The maximum duration allowed for a full-time candidate is 3 years, which can be extended upto 5 years upon formal application by the candidate and endorsement by their guide and co-guide.

Eligibility for financial support: Occasionally the Institute might make announcements of financial support if sources make such support available. On such occasions only full-time candidates are eligible to apply for the support.

Attention: SAGE Fellowships for full-time doctoral applicants

Read in section on SAGE Fellowships .

Residence: Part-time candidates are required to be present on campus for the duration of scheduled coursework, seminars, and other academic requirements that are declared to be held in person.

Duration: The maximum duration allowed for a full-time candidate is 5 years, which can be extended upto 7 years upon formal application by the candidate and endorsement by their guide and co-guide.

Employer’s No-Objection Certificate: Working professionals in employment elsewhere and seeking admission to the part-time PhD programme are required to obtain a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from their employer, stating that the employer has no objection to the employee pursuing a PhD from the Institute, and that the employee will be available in person or online as the Institute may require for doctoral consultations with the guide, for all Institute coursework, periodic seminars and presentations, as the case may be, and will fulfil residential requirements as per the Institute’s requirements. This certificate should be submitted no later than acceptance of offer of admission if made.

Eligibility for financial support: Part-time candidates would NOT be eligible for ANY financial support from the Institute.

Part-time candidates shall also be governed by all rules and regulations of the Institute.

NID-HSLU Cooperation PhD Program

In the year 2022 NID entered into an agreement with Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts—School of Design, Film and Art (HSLU), Switzerland, to offer an NID-HSLU PhD Cooperation program separate from its own PhD program alluded to above, on the theme Eco-Social Innovation by Design . This program is open to people worldwide to apply. A common portal is used for application to both programs. Information on this program is available on the website https://www.hslu.ch/en/lucerne-school-of-art-and-design/research/doctorate/phd-programme-eco-social-innovation-by-design/ .

The SAGE PhD Fellowship

NID is pleased to offer one (1) full-time PhD Fellowship on the topic of Biopackaging through the SAGE PhD Fellows program of Echo Network of Bangalore, a Denmark-based organisation that works with the Nordic Centre of India to promote research on Sustainability. Research proposals are invited for this Fellowship opportunity.

The terms of this Fellowship are as follows:

• This Fellowship would be available for research  only on the   topic of Biopackaging . The research must also relate to the field of Design and thus make a contribution to theoretical knowledge of the two fields (Design and Biopackaging) combined.
• The Fellowship would be available only to  full-time candidates . The candidate would be required to  fulfil   physical attendance requirements at NID's Ahmedabad campus  for the entire duration of their doctoral study.
• The Fellowship would be available for  three (3) years . If more time is required for the research work to be completed, the candidate could apply for it (extending the duration upto a maximum of 5 years) but the duration of funding is limited to 3 years.
• The fellowship would include a stipend for living expenses in Ahmedabad, tuition fees of the PhD program, and all costs (eg, travel, conferences, material) related to the research being conducted. 
• The candidate on this Fellowship is required to  spend up to 7 months in Denmark  (over the three-year Fellowship period) working with Danish institutes associated with Echo Network on this project. The costs of this would be covered in addition to the fellowship.
• Applicants to this Fellowship must clearly  include the following in the title of their research proposals: “Application for SAGE Fellowship”  to indicate their intent of applying for the fellowship. Absence of this phrase in the title would be taken to mean that the applicant does not wish to be considered for the fellowship even if the topic is related to Biopackaging.
• Only  one (1) position is available  for the Fellowship.
• Applicants for the Fellowship would  go through the same Admissions process as that published in the Admissions Handbook  for 2024.
• The candidate who is awarded the Fellowship would be required to  go through all the academic processes of all doctoral students of NID  during their doctoral tenure at the Institute.

Disciplines

The PhD programme in Design will include:

• Original investigation undertaken through a design project, in order to gain new knowledge by means of practice and the outcomes of that practice. Claims of originality and contribution to knowledge may be demonstrated through creative outcomes, which may include artefacts such as objects, images, film, fashion, music, design collections, models, samples, prototypes, digital media or other outcomes such as performances and exhibitions. Doctoral submissions for this kind of research must include a contextualisation of the creative work. A written/video thesis will form a part of the dissertation,which shall be in a dialogic and analytic relation to the outcome, with a suitable articulation of the objective, methods, process and findings.
• The research may also be concerned with the nature of practice and lead to new knowledge that has operational significance for that practice. The main focus of this kind of research shall be to advance knowledge about practice or to advance knowledge within practice. The results of the research, in this case, may be fully described in text form in the doctoral thesis.

The programme shall promote the accumulation and application of diverse research methods that should be customised as per Indian variables and the context of Indian socio-cultural heritage and should be relevant to the needs of the country. The main emphasis of the programme will be the generation of new knowledge through testing and implementing new materials, techniques, processes and design ideas. The programme will nurture design thinking as an inquiry-based field of research and knowledge production that, in turn, inform better design practices.  

The PhD programme in Design aims to promote deep reflection, inquiry, and rigor in the development and dissemination of new ideas, expressions and skills in the field of design and allied fields and shall lead to their meaningful manifestations in the form of new design collections, objects, communication, services, strategies, etc. The work shall contribute new theories and knowledge to design, design education and design practice.

The purpose of the programme is to support the creation of products or services that improve the quality of life of people, meet demands to sustain the environment, improve policymaking; and better the understanding and use of design in industry, education and society at large.

To foster original research and create new knowledge about the nature and practice of design.

Overall, a Doctorate in Interior Design equips individuals with the skills and expertise necessary to assume leadership positions in the industry by fostering expertise, critical thinking, innovation, effective communication, networking, and an understanding of industry dynamics.

Q. Can a Doctorate in Interior Design program include cross-disciplinary studies, such as combining design with environmental sustainability or technology?

Ans: Doctorate programs in Interior Design can and often do include cross-disciplinary studies that combine design with various other fields, including environmental sustainability, technology, psychology, architecture, sociology, business, and more.

The interdisciplinary approach in a Doctorate in Interior Design allows students to explore connections between interior design and other disciplines, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the field and enabling them to address complex challenges from multiple perspectives. Here’s how such cross-disciplinary studies might manifest:

• Design and Environmental Sustainability: Many programs integrate courses or research components focusing on sustainable design practices. This may involve studying eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient design strategies, green building certifications, and incorporating sustainable principles into interior design processes.
• Technology Integration: Doctoral programs often incorporate the study of technology’s impact on interior design. This could include exploring smart home systems, IoT (Internet of Things) applications, VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and how these technologies can enhance design functionality, aesthetics, and user experiences.
• Psychology and Design: Some programs include courses or research projects that delve into the psychological aspects of interior design. This could involve understanding human behavior and emotions and how design elements influence interior spaces’ well-being, productivity, and satisfaction.
• Business and Design Management: Certain programs offer components focusing on design entrepreneurship, marketing, project management, or other business-related topics to equip students with managerial skills necessary for leadership roles within the design industry.
• Architectural Integration: Given the close relationship between interior design and architecture, some doctoral programs may encourage interdisciplinary studies that explore how the two fields intersect and complement each other.
• Social Sciences and Design: Research in sociology, anthropology, or cultural studies might be integrated into the program to understand how societal trends, cultural norms, and diverse perspectives impact design decisions and user experiences in interior spaces.

Including cross-disciplinary studies enriches the doctoral experience, providing students with a broader perspective, fostering innovation, and preparing them to address multifaceted challenges in the ever-evolving field of interior design. This interdisciplinary approach helps graduates become well-rounded professionals capable of integrating diverse knowledge into their design practice and research.
