I've been wanting to do a PhD in Art/Design for 15 years but found that since it's a "practice" area, there are few options. Can anyone share their views & contacts on this? Much appreciated.

What country would you want to undertake your PhD research?

There are in fact a number of ways of doing a 'practice' based PhD. If you're interested contact me at Iain.Biggs@uwe.ac.uk
