Overview

The Doctor of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong is a challenging intellectual experience where you will produce a substantial body of work supported by a written exegesis of approximately 30,000 words. There is an integral relationship between creative work and the exegesis.

The DCA is practice-based; you will make a significant contribution to both your creative discipline and the area of inquiry within which the work is located. You will attend lectures and workshops on creative arts research practices and other relevant topics. DCA candidates are also expected to actively contribute to the research culture of the University.
