Features

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.
- This will provide an exploration of the research question(s) and will indicate how the research is embodied in and through the practice.
