Alireza,
Just to reiterate Chris's posting yesterday on this topic. Northumbria
has been offering supervision support for research degrees in design
since the late 1970's, originally through the CNAA, along with many
other UK Art & Design Departments in former Polytechnics. Since
incorporation to University status the awarding authority passed to the
new universities themselves and much has been done in recent years to
increase the rigour and quality of standards to support research degree
study, including training for supervisors and the provision of taught
modules to support the training needs analysis of candidates in both new
and old universities alike.
The Centre for Design Research in the School of Design at Northumbria is
now in the advanced stages of preparing for validation a Professional
Doctorate in Design Practice to complement its existing doctoral award
of PhD across new and emergent design disciplines. This represents
another exciting development in study to support the production of
knowledge about and through design practice. It follows research
springing from earlier registrations with design practice elements to
their process of enquiry.

Hi,
In the UK, as David Durling pointed out, a large number of Universities
offer PhDs in design, including Industrial Design
They include:
University of Central England, Birmingham Goldsmiths, University of
London Coventry University University of Leeds University of the Arts
London University of the West of England, Bristol University of Ulster
University of Dundee Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen Northumbria
University, Newcastle Nottingham Trent University Brunel University
Lancaster University University of Brighton Salford University
And I am sure there are a good few that I have overlooked or was not
certain about. A good reference source is the Art and Design Index to
Theses, compiled by my colleague Tom Fisher, together with Judith
Mottram from Nottingham Trent Univ.
