Renowned for its innovative research in art, design, and material culture, the University of Brighton has gained national and international recognition as a leading institution for design history studies.
Researchers across all levels in the university's Centre for Design History adopt interdisciplinary methods to expand the frontiers of the field. Brighton's academic approach embraces a broad interpretation of art and design, encompassing both professional and amateur practices, digital and physical creations, while shifting focus from individual objects to intricate networks, systems, and environments.
This research framework creates significant potential for societal and economic influence through collaborations with cultural institutions like museums and galleries, government agencies, community organizations, and crucially, creative industries.
