PhD courses in Denmark

A new website for PhD courses in Denmark was launched first September 2012 to provide a better overview of the many PhD courses the Danish universities offer individually and in cooperation with each other. I thought I would just mention it to you, though it is not dedicated to design research especially. However, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Design and Conservation ( KADK) will soon upload information about its own courses. For instance, it can be a good place to source academic writting  if not topic related trainings.

Interaction Design Programme, Application process opened at CIID

 My colleagues at CIID, Copenhagen,  are looking for students to start their Interaction Design Programme in January 2013. This is a unique inspiring and creative environment where textile designers interested in future textiles, smart materials, new technologies, cross-disciplinary design and obviously interaction design could really bring much to the course.

If you are interested please see further details below and on CIID's website.

There is a rolling deadline but students applying before March 2nd will be given priority.

What CIID Looks For

As an education concerned with the broad potential of design and technology, the Interaction Design Programme is looking for a wide diversity of students. We welcome applicants from all over the world and from any background.

You should be curious and creative; enthusiastic about design and working in a cross-disciplinary environment. Whether you're currently studying or working, you should be interested in the connections between education and interaction design practice. We plan to have a class of up to 25 students.

Requirements

To apply for the Interaction Design Programme, you must have a prior university or college undergraduate degree (or equivalent experience) and submit an application and other supporting documentation. Qualified applications will be invited for a phone interview, after which we will make our final selections.
