Our pioneering PhD Art and Social Practice is designed for people who want to undertake advanced research which builds on their professional knowledge and practice. Professional practice may include: applied practice, arts and health, community arts, performing arts, other related contexts across visual and creative media The structure of the programme is devised to enable you to develop your career while simultaneously undertaking a research project that leads to a doctoral qualification.
