PhD Award

Your research may combine the practice, theory and /or history of your specialist area and you will be guided in your study to define clearly and persuasively what is original and innovative about your chosen topic and how best to present and disseminate your arguments and findings, whether this is substantially a written thesis or via a combination of practice (for example, exhibition, installation) and text-based critique. Because of the individual nature of your study, your requirements (for example, for studio space or other specialist resources) will be discussed with your supervisor who will be able to advise you on their availability.

As well as tutorials with your supervisors, you will participate in a programme of research methods training. In your first year of registration, there will be three separate weeks attendance in London at the University of the Arts London Research Network (RNUAL). This will be complemented by a separate programme to be attended regularly at AUB.
