Our PhDs by Practice are an innovative entry route for anyone working in the sector or with significant experience in the chosen field of practice. This is an opportunity for you to extend your professional practice and consider its intellectual and research context. Your research You’ll explore your own interests, and you will produce and be examined on a portfolio that draws upon an area of your practice, such as an exhibition, documentary, digital product or participatory community project. You will research the intellectual context of your practice and your portfolio will include substantive practical work with commentary and a related thesis of no more than 40,000 words. Distance learning We also offer the option of enrolling by distance learning. You'll have the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world. We'll work with you to assess the feasibility of your distance learning degree, including any facilities and resources you may need to complete your studies. We'll discuss your training requirements and an associated timeline, which will need to be in place before you start your course. You must visit York for at least two weeks per year, with a compulsory visit at each annual progression point. In addition, you must attend a two-week induction period in York at the beginning of your degree.
