About this program
MPhil/PhD Art
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.
