Research Programmes in Fine Art: PhD through practice in Fine Art

The PhD degree in Fine Art is about artistic research. Students will explore through their practice and communicate results in a public fashion. The research proposal when complete must contibute to new knowledge within contemporary Fine Art practice. The question underpinning the research proposal should have relevance to the sector. Pursuing a PhD requires the production of a major body of work within a critically reflective frame of enquiry which is usually text based. PhD researchers are expected to extend and develop particular areas of art practice through practical work and public presentation. Fine Art learning conditions support the integration of art production and theory.
