Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
An art research degree offers you the opportunity to explore your innovative practice as research through the production of an original body of work and to place your work in relation to the work of other practitioners in a contemporary and historical context. You’ll draw upon and extend existing knowledge and practices, and you’ll show that the research makes an original contribution to knowledge.
Typically, we’ll help you to focus and refine detailed aspects of your practice as a research process – aspects which may or may not have previously been associated with art practice or other exploratory and creative forms of research. We’ll encourage you to more critically examine the thoughts and actions of others, as well as your own imperatives as a practising artist and/or art researcher.
You’ll develop a thesis in parallel with practice-based research, and we’ll help you focus on appropriate developments of your practice for pursuing your as research and work with you to refine appropriate forms of discourse and dissemination.
Alternatively, a PhD in Art can be wholly historical or theoretical, conforming to the conventions of traditional written theses. For some candidates, PhD research enables them to progress their career by establishing their research capabilities and credentials in an academic context. For others, the opportunity to examine practices in depth, to make a rigorous and original contribution to knowledge, can be an end in itself. For all those who commit to the PhD process, it represents an opportunity to rigorously examine a passion or interest that is both personally meaningful, and results in a high-level qualification concluding through the viva process in detailed peer review.
Researchers have the opportunity to study, discuss or exhibit their work, engaging with colleagues from a range of areas via seminars, symposia and conferences both online and offline: or travelling to meet with key figures from the area you wish to immerse yourself in.
Research areas You’ll be supported by staff whose specialisms include:
-
agendas around art and wellbeing
-
art and biblical interpretation
-
art and ecology
-
artificial intelligence and creative practice
-
artists’ books and publishing
-

Summary
An art research degree is not a continuation of studio practice or a residency, but instead asks you to place your work in relation to that of other practitioners in a contemporary and historical context. In this respect, new knowledge and originality can consist of different combinations of existing knowledge as a means of demonstrating and proving original practice.
Typically, we enable you to focus and refine detailed aspects of your practice that you locate very specifically in a range of knowledge fields that may or may not previously have been associated with fine art. It encourages you to explore more critically – and make connections with and between – the thoughts and actions of others, and your own imperatives as a practising artist.
Through developing dialogues and exchanges within your supervisory team, and external connections made as part of your research, you will then be able to put forward your completed research project and take the first steps in expanding your connections with a larger artistic and academic community. Research students are encouraged to present conference papers, participate in seminars, public exhibitions and other forms of critical exchange, as part of the research process.
You will write a thesis in parallel with the practice-based research, that should demonstrate an original contribution to knowledge. We will help you focus on the appropriate practice for pursuing your research, and refine appropriate forms of discourse and dissemination.

Summary
An art research degree is not a continuation of studio practice or a residency, but instead asks you to place your work in relation to that of other practitioners in a contemporary and historical context. In this respect, new knowledge and originality can consist of different combinations of existing knowledge as a means of demonstrating and proving original practice.
Typically, we enable you to focus and refine detailed aspects of your practice that you locate very specifically in a range of knowledge fields that may or may not previously have been associated with fine art. It encourages you to explore more critically – and make connections with and between – the thoughts and actions of others, and your own imperatives as a practising artist.
Through developing dialogues and exchanges within your supervisory team, and external connections made as part of your research, you will then be able to put forward your completed research project and take the first steps in expanding your connections with a larger artistic and academic community. Research students are encouraged to present conference papers, participate in seminars, public exhibitions and other forms of critical exchange, as part of the research process.
You will write a thesis in parallel with the practice-based research, that should demonstrate an original contribution to knowledge. We will help you focus on the appropriate practice for pursuing your research, and refine appropriate forms of discourse and dissemination.

Summary
An art research degree offers you the opportunity to explore your innovative practice as research through the production of an original body of work and to place your work in relation to the work of other practitioners in a contemporary and historical context. You’ll draw upon and extend existing knowledge and practices, and you’ll show that the research makes an original contribution to knowledge.
Typically, we’ll help you to focus and refine detailed aspects of your practice as a research process – aspects which may or may not have previously been associated with art practice or other exploratory and creative forms of research. We’ll encourage you to more critically examine the thoughts and actions of others, as well as your own imperatives as a practising artist and/or art researcher.
You’ll develop a thesis in parallel with practice-based research, and we’ll help you focus on appropriate developments of your practice for pursuing your as research and work with you to refine appropriate forms of discourse and dissemination.
Alternatively, a PhD in Art can be wholly historical or theoretical, conforming to the conventions of traditional written theses. For some candidates, PhD research enables them to progress their career by establishing their research capabilities and credentials in an academic context. For others, the opportunity to examine practices in depth, to make a rigorous and original contribution to knowledge, can be an end in itself. For all those who commit to the PhD process, it represents an opportunity to rigorously examine a passion or interest that is both personally meaningful, and results in a high-level qualification concluding through the viva process in detailed peer review.
Researchers have the opportunity to study, discuss or exhibit their work, engaging with colleagues from a range of areas via seminars, symposia and conferences both online and offline: or travelling to meet with key figures from the area you wish to immerse yourself in.
Research areas You’ll be supported by staff whose specialisms include:
-
agendas around art and wellbeing
-
art and biblical interpretation
-
art and ecology
-
artificial intelligence and creative practice
-
artists’ books and publishing
-

Summary
An art research degree is not a continuation of studio practice or a residency, but instead asks you to place your work in relation to that of other practitioners in a contemporary and historical context. In this respect, new knowledge and originality can consist of different combinations of existing knowledge as a means of demonstrating and proving original practice.
Typically, we enable you to focus and refine detailed aspects of your practice that you locate very specifically in a range of knowledge fields that may or may not previously have been associated with fine art. It encourages you to explore more critically – and make connections with and between – the thoughts and actions of others, and your own imperatives as a practising artist.
Through developing dialogues and exchanges within your supervisory team, and external connections made as part of your research, you will then be able to put forward your completed research project and take the first steps in expanding your connections with a larger artistic and academic community. Research students are encouraged to present conference papers, participate in seminars, public exhibitions and other forms of critical exchange, as part of the research process.
You will write a thesis in parallel with the practice-based research, that should demonstrate an original contribution to knowledge. We will help you focus on the appropriate practice for pursuing your research, and refine appropriate forms of discourse and dissemination.
