"I hugely valued how the PhD gave me the opportunity to work deeply on my artistic research, and I feel very fortunate to have been able to do that with the support of a funded studentship and a truly wonderful supervisory team."
"I most valued the opportunity to potentially enhance our built environment and social fabric through understanding and connecting different bodies of knowledge."
"Studying at DMU was a positive experience for me in a friendly environment that fosters unfolding creativity. Both of my supervisors mentored me in an open, kind and supportive manner."
"I most valued the ability to conduct an investigation and immerse myself in literature relevant to my study and area of clinical practice whilst learning new skills and knowledge that have enabled me to develop both personally and professionally."
"The way my research was fostered and encouraged while at DMU set a solid foundation for my career, and as I near completion of my PhD I’ll owe a lot of this to the academics and fellow students I was able to work with."
