CODEX is an intensive, practice-based interdisciplinary PhD program exploring cutting-edge intersections of art, design, and technology. This globally connected research initiative operates under the University of Plymouth's leadership alongside partner institutions. The program draws upon the outstanding research capabilities of the School of Art, Design and Architecture within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business, supported by the University Doctoral College.
This full-time doctoral program requires an initial 18-month UK residency followed by a mobility phase at a partner institution.
CODEX centers on artistic and design approaches that address societal, cultural, economic, and ecological issues while examining new patterns of behavior emerging from technological advancements.
Bringing together international creatives, CODEX fosters a challenging, experimental space for investigating both tangible and intangible factors shaping possible futures.
The program actively develops artistic and design methodologies that generate fresh cross-cultural, interdisciplinary viewpoints on global complexity. This is achieved through practice-led research that blends traditional and innovative approaches.
Full time duration: 3-4 years

Qualification Requirements
Applicants are expected to have completed a masters level qualification to a high standard (e.g. at 'merit' or 'distinction' level) as well as either a good 2:1 or first class honours undergraduate degree in an area of study appropriate to your project proposal (e.g. theatre and performance, drama, dance, live or fine art, performance writing, etc.). We are happy to consider equivalent qualifications (for instance, you may have studied different subjects at undergraduate and masters level but have established an artistic practice since then).
Students who are making exceptional progress in a ResM programme, may progress directly into our PhD programme without having to complete the masters.
You will also need to provide evidence that you are ready to pursue the project you propose in your application. This will take the form of a sample of critical writing, and if relevant, documentation of relevant creative or professional practice.
If English is not your first language, you must have proficiency in written and spoken English (normally a minimum test score of 6.5 for IELTS, or equivalent). Given the nature of the programme, you'll be expected to read and engage with complex theoretical texts and debates for which fluency in English is essential.
TOEFL IBT – 90
Minimum Component Scores - Component scores of listening 17, reading 18, speaking 20, writing 18
