Dear Alex,
I'm not informed of a general index of PhD programmes in industrial
design, but here some information and links that may be useful:
in 2001 John Demao and Sid Newton promoted surveys of PhD programmes.
Their original messages are attached below;
in october 2003, at the 3rd conference Doctoral Education in Design,
David Durling and Kazuo Sugiyama provided the results of a Survey of
Education in Design Research (with a specific focus on programmes at
IIT, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Kyushu University, Chiba
University and Politecnico di Milano;
in 2001, within the PhD programme in industrial design at POLITECNICO
di MILANO, a temptative, not very rigourous list of links was put
together; it is still available at
http://pcsiwa12.rett.polimi.it/~phddi/uk/02/siti01.htm, but it has
not been udated so it is not reliable any longer;
for a more updated guide to PhD programmes in industrial design I
often refer to the page of resources available at the PhD programme
at IIT (see http://www.id.iit.edu/phd/resource_program.htm).
All the best,
Silvia Pizzocaro
