Overview
About the programme
This Museum Practice PhD at The University of Manchester is one of a suite of professional practice-focused doctorates overseen by the Institute for Cultural Practices that aim to engage experienced professionals in advanced research. It takes explicit account of the professional practice base of the student and integrates this as a central knowledge base for the research project.
We aim to support the development of dynamic knowledge outcomes that can have an impact across academic and non-academic contexts, as well as of reflective practice that can respond to and influence the complex unpredictable and shifting social and cultural contexts within which museums and their staff operate.
