Overview
The PhD by Practice programme entails a practitioner producing a body of work accompanied by a written thesis. Appropriate records (aural, visual etc.) of the practice, together with commentaries, will then comprise the main body of the portfolio submitted in place of the thesis for examination. The thesis must establish, in a way that can be assessed by oral examination, that the portfolio constitutes a coherent body of original work that can stand alongside a more traditional PhD. Candidates for this award would normally be expected to complete the body of work during their period of registration.
Lincoln’s School of English and Journalism has a well-established research environment and students are provided with academic guidance and support by experienced supervisory teams. Students follow a supporting programme of training to develop the research skills necessary for their study and may be able to gain teaching experience following further training.
