Key Summary

    About : The MPhil/PhD in Art focuses on developing research and critical thinking skills in the field of art. This program encourages students to explore contemporary art practices and histories while fostering a collaborative approach to artistic inquiry.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths, including roles as artists, curators, art educators or work in arts administration. Some may further engage in academic research or art criticism, contributing to the broader discourse in the art world.

We support innovative art research in Fine Art, Curating, Art Writing and across disciplines.

The MPhil/PhD Art is a 3-4 year (full-time) or 6-8 year (part-time) research project, the pursuit of which may involve your already-established practice, or may require the development of new modes of practice specific to the project.

There are three different pathways that you can choose to study:

  • Pathway 1: Thesis by Practice
  • Pathway 2: Thesis by Practice and Written Dissertation
  • Pathway 3: Thesis by Written Dissertation

To find out more about each of these pathways, please see the ‘Structure’ tab below.

We consider all elements of the MPhil/PhD to be sites of rigorous experimentation. Bearing this in mind, we understand that the shape and trajectory of your research may change as you make connections and develop your practice throughout the course of your research. We will work with you to develop the most appropriate – and generative – means of pursuing, documenting and disseminating your findings.
