This course has been designed to facilitate an inclusive and diverse creative environment for future artistic researchers. Here is your opportunity to rigorously explore, trial, test, and share, through research, practice, and creativity.

This research degree has been developed for the furtherment of artistic research and professional development of artists from a variety of disciplines. These include:

Performance (acting and theatre)

Music (composition/production)

Media Production (film making and intermedial performance)

Visual performance (installation)

On this course, you will embark on extensive research into your chosen topic that suits the course overview’s disciplines. Your developing research will be informed by varied research methodologies, cutting-edge principles, theories, and critical analysis. Your research will focus on your chosen topic in relation to ethics, ethnography and autoethnography, aligned with the scope of artistic research.

Your practice, artistic mode, and personal creative journey will allow you to shape your degree. As a researcher, you will develop essential aspects of critical and creative inquiry, to provoke thought and enthuse your reflective capabilities, within a contextual critical awareness. The course will provide you with the essential knowledges of artistic research methodologies, and understanding and awareness of recent artistic research literature, practices and bodies of artistic work.

The course is designed for you to develop theoretical, methodological, ethical, interrogative, practical, creative and reflective approaches to building your artistic practice. Research techniques will be informed by creative processes which offer findings within and through both the artistic dissemination, in a range of domains, and in writing.

You will study 2 30-credit taught modules with students across different disciplines within the School of the Arts. While carrying out the research project for the 120-credit thesis, you'll be welcomed into our community of postgraduate research students.
