About PhD Built Environment, PhD - at University of Reading Malaysia

Our PhD in Built Environment provides graduates with an in-depth understanding of a specialist field at the forefront of the discipline and enables mastery of the research methods required in that field. Under the supervision of leading international researchers, you will acquire the necessary skills and experience to conduct high quality, independent, original research in your field of study. The School of the Built Environment's relationship with industry, professional institutions and governments around the world (and especially UK and Malaysia), allows us to develop and transfer knowledge beyond the boundaries of the academic environment and provides a unique opportunity to conduct research in this part of the world.

The School draws together expertise across a range of disciplines including organisation and management, design, sustainability, procurement and economics. We particularly welcome interest from postgraduate students wishing to pursue research in topics related to our three main research pillars:

  • Business Innovation in Construction
    Specific areas of expertise include construction procurement, contract law, life-cycle analysis (LCA) and whole life cycle assessment. Interests include the construction sector's relationship with broader society, including corporate social responsibility.

  • Digital Practices
    This group tackles opportunities and challenges of using Building Information Modelling (BIM) in delivering and managing the built environment. Our research also explores the realm of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and other emerging digital technologies and how these can be used to create a more immersive environment in the construction industry.

  • Transition Pathways to a Low Carbon Economy
    Specific areas of interest include how the construction sector will deliver against diverse sustainability requirements from policy-makers, professional institutions, clients and occupiers. Interdisciplinary research is needed into the ways in which change leaders are working to translate these demands into company-level strategies, cultures, organisational and supply chain structures and practices.
