What will I learn?

The PhD in Industrial Design is a strategic research collaboration between Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and the University of Liverpool. Upon successful completion of your programme, you will receive a degree from the University of Liverpool, which is recognised by the UK Department of Education as well as China’s Ministry of Education. Students in this programme are formally registered with XJTLU and the University of Liverpool as a doctoral student. As a PhD student, you will have a designated principal supervisor at XJTLU who is a full-time academic staff member. In addition, you will have a designated co-supervisor based at the University of Liverpool. Pursuing a full-time PhD typically involves three years of conducting research and one year of writing a thesis, supported by subject-specific and general skills training and development. A full-time PhD student must submit their thesis within four years (or six years for part-time PhD students).
