Dear community of sufferers,
making a PhD in design is not as easy as it could be so far. For this reason, we have to support each other and inform us where advanced academic qualifications for designers are potnetially offered within Germany as well as internationally.
In this respect, I would like to encorage you to use the attached lists of German and international universities and comment on them referring to your experiences in the opportunity in making a PhD in Design.
Thank you for this to Philip Zerweck and Gavin Melles (Faculty of Design, Swinburne University) and to Claudia Mareis for passing it to us!

Was ist mit dem Interaction
Was ist mit dem Interaction Design? Ich bin auf der Suche von einer Promotionstelle in dem Bereich. Wie ich sehe aber in Deutschland gibt es eher Graphik oder Industrial Design.
PhD in Spain
Since last year, it is possible to start a Phd in Design at Tecnun, Universidad de Navarra.

PhD in Design and Creation - Colombia
One year ago, I started a Doctorate program in Design and Creation at Universidad de Caldas, Manizales, Colombia (http://www.doctoradoendiseno.com/). We have had national professors and international too, like Victor Margolin (USA), for instance. I am very happy about my studies.
