Features 

  • For the first 12 months (or 18 months if you're researching part-time), you'll be enrolled as a provisional postgraduate researcher and you’ll have regular meetings to check your progress and to make sure you're developing the right skills for your research. 

Programme Structure

Practice-led research

  • We welcome PhD applications that include a practical element, especially in the areas of filmmaking, photography, screenwriting, immersive and interactive storytelling, digital performance and production, and community co-production.
  • For a practice-led PhD, you’ll produce a body of work which demonstrates an original contribution to knowledge and scholarship. 
  • This will comprise a substantial creative practice produced in pursuit of the degree, displaying critical understanding and being worthy of public presentation or publication.
  • You’ll also produce a written submission of 15,000 to 50,000 words.
