Summary
The Guildhall School's doctoral programme is a unique and distinctive research programme which supports a very wide range of research projects.
Students on the programme include those who seek to integrate historical, theoretical, sociological, psychological or philosophical perspectives of music or drama into their work; those who wish to research aspects of arts pedagogy, institutions and their impact on society; and those who wish to undertake research in composition, drama or music therapy. As a world-leading conservatoire we are especially well equipped to supervise research grounded in practice.
Students undertaking doctoral work at Guildhall can benefit from the School’s performing resources, well-established cultural partnerships, and the extensive expertise of the School’s staff in creating and realising new work. Each student on the doctoral programme is allocated a supervisory team, made up of at least two members of staff, sometimes more, who have the appropriate combination of academic and artistic expertise to support fully the development of the individual student’s doctoral research. Doctoral students are also supported by a thorough and comprehensive research training programme.
The doctoral programme will normally be completed after three years of full-time research, followed by either a one-year period of ‘writing-up’ or a further year of supervision. The programme is also available on a part-time basis.
