The Birmingham Institute of Art and Design is a large faculty of Birmingham City University, and offers a number of design teaching posts in this current round. This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's most highly rated design research faculties, with excellent support and facilities for staff and student research. Among the facilities are a School of Art established in 1885, two highly regarded galleries, the largest School of Jewellery in Europe with a dominant position in the industry, and the Birmingham School of Architecture.
In RAE2008 some 30% of research was judged as world-leading, with a large majority deemed to be of international significance. Research submitted covered all the main art and design subjects including architecture and history. The faculty hosts about 50 doctoral students, and has an excellent track record of completions. It is one of the few faculties in art and design holding an AHRC block grant for MA preparation and PhD studies.
BIAD has a significant knowledge exchange engagement with industry through long established collaborations, and a very successful KTP scheme which is the largest of its kind. BIAD engages in a number of university research centres - for example in digital technologies, low carbon design, and wellbeing, and there are many international collaborations for teaching and research throughout the world, increasingly with Asia.
