Doctor of Philosophy in studio art (pHD)
Introduction
The aim of this three year full-time (six year part-time) research
programme is the generation of a contribution to knowledge and understanding
in Fine Art by means of enquiry conducted through studio research and,
where relevant, other research methods.
Students propose a research project including a key research question,
and receive training in research methods. Students are expected to:
- Pursue a defined key research question through studio research
- Investigate cognate studio research undertaken by others internationally
- Explore the theoretical and historical dimensions of the enquiry
through scholarship
- Collaborate with others, as appropriate, to extend the range of
the enquiry
- Produce a body of work that embodies new knowledge in answer to
the key research question
- Write a 500 word summary of the contribution to knowledge and understanding
together with a reflective analysis of the theoretical and historical
context of the research and a critical review of the process of the
research
