Masters in Fine Art at the Burren College of Art, Ireland

Doctor of Philosophy in studio art (pHD)

Programmes of Enquiry

We welcome proposals for studio based PhDs in the following aspects of studio art:

  • Drawing as a process of enquiry
  • Creative methods and methodology
  • Digital narrative (in collaboration with the Huston School of Film and Digital Media, NUI Galway)
  • Interdisciplinary research that promotes collaboration across academic boundaries (with potentially any department of NUI Galway)

Students may also propose research projects outside these criteria for consideration by the Burren College of Art.

A proposal for a research project should outline the field of enquiry and the key research question, together with an indication of the research methods envisaged. We welcome informal enquiries in advance of a formal application, and we will assist shortlisted applicants to develop their proposals.

In the first year students take courses in research methods and historical & critical studies, and participate in the PhD induction programme of the Faculty of Arts at NUI Galway.

Full-time PhD stuents have their own dedicated studio space at Burren College of Art with 24/7 access and the availability of all BCA faculty as appropriate. Part-time students should have their own studio space and be available for regular contact with their supervisor at BCA.


Supervision

Supervision is undertaken by a supervision committee led by the Dean, Professor Timothy Emlyn Jones, which will include faculty of the National University of Ireland, Galway and Burren College of Art, as appropriate.
