The Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Arts) is for candidates with an excellent creative arts academic research background, or equivalent high-level professional experience.

This course is a challenging intellectual experience designed for students with a high level of professional and scholarly maturity. You may pursue purely scholarly research or a combination of creative practice and scholarly research.  Research strengths in creative practice include Music, Theatre, Performance, Creative Writing, Visual Arts, Digital Media and Design. Applications from all these disciplines are encouraged, as well as any projects working in interdisciplinary forms. The degree involves the submission of a research thesis comprising a combination of creative and scholarly outputs. The exact make-up of the submission is determined by the nature of the research project, but in all cases represents a substantial and publishable result of sustained engagement with creative arts practice and knowledge.
