Overview
Explore, experiment and develop project ideas in a supportive, critically reflective, wide-ranging creative arts context.
Features
- This full time or part time doctoral Art and Media programme at University of Plymouth is suitable for people who have a particular research question or topic in mind, and wish to explore this through independent study in order to produce an original contribution to the subject.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:- You will be guided by a small supervisory team of academic experts under the direction of a Director of Studies.
- Where appropriate, the team will draw on expertise elsewhere in the University (for instance, for pedagogic studies, from the Institute of Education, or if concerned with Visual Arts and the Maritime, from the Marine Institute).
- If you do not already have a masters degree, you may be interested in one of our masters level research degrees (which enables a transfer directly into the PhD programme if you are making excellent progress), or else an MPhil degree.
- You will be expected to fully engage with research skills development and training and to present your project in a range of scholarly contexts.
- Your PhD will be assessed via submission of either a written thesis (approximately 80,000 words), or one that combines critical writing with artistic, creative and/or professional practice, and a viva voce (an oral examination).

Other requirements
General requirements
- Applicants are normally expected to have completed a masters level qualification to a high standard (e.g. at 'merit' or 'distinction' level) as well as either a good 2:1 or first class honours undergraduate degree in an area of study appropriate to your project proposal (e.g. contemporary art, media arts, photography, art historical, curatorial or writing practices, or art specialism teaching qualifications).
- Complementary study experience at BA and MA levels are also welcome; you may have studied different subjects at undergraduate and masters level that together form a foundation for an established art practice.
- If English is not your first language, you must have proficiency in written and spoken English (normally a minimum test score of 6.5 for IELTS, or equivalent). Given the nature of the programme, you’ll be expected to read and engage with complex theoretical texts and debates for which fluency in English is essential.
