The School of Communication and Design (SCD) employs three thematic research clusters. These clusters emphasise various thematic research strengths, rather than researchers’ individual practices. Using a thematic approach highlights the impact our researchers have when working with the communities of Vietnam. The clusters facilitate wider cross-disciplinary research within SCD and across the three schools of RMIT Vietnam, SCD, TBS (The Business School), and SSET (School of Science, Engineering and Technology).
Our research clusters aim to contribute to and develop collaborative research projects with our colleagues and partners within and outside RMIT. This leveraging of our research capability provides opportunities for high-caliber researchers to create meaningful social impact with our stakeholder industries, communities, and organisations in Vietnam. The clusters use a wide range of engagement activities, symposia, and workshops to ensure our research teams are engaging with current, international research and scholarship. The three thematic research clusters are: Cities and Urbanism; Creativity, Heritage and Society; and Sustainability.

We are inviting proposals for three PhD projects, either a non-traditional research output (NTRO), a practice-based project or a traditional thesis format, within the School of Communication and Design in Vietnam. It is envisioned these will be aligned with at least one of our three research clusters.
