Transart Institute for Creative Research is excited to announce two new programs for 2018: the PhD Creative Culture in collaboration with the Writing and Society Research Centre, Western Sydney University and a new Doctor of Fine Arts (DFA) New Narratives. These new initiatives run alongside our current MFA Creative Practice and PhD Creative Practice.
In both the Doctor of Fine Arts (DFA) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes your creative work IS the research itself, together with a written component that either informs and supports your research or is an integral part of it.
The Doctor of Fine Arts New Narratives is a partially taught programme where your written research is guided through cumulative stages in which critical reflection—approximately 15,000 word analysis of your own practice—will emerge.
The PhD Creative Culture is for artists with a specific research project or question/s they want to examine in order to further develop their work. Led by your research question/s it is a combination of your praxis and reflection where your writing—a thesis of approximately 40,000 words—actively contributes to the creative work itself, functioning as an integral part of the overall research in a form relevant to your project.
Both new doctoral programmes culminate in the submission and evaluation of your creative research as a public exhibition/dissemination of new work + thesis/contextualization in a form/format that best articulates and reflects your work and ideas (with no oral defense).
As a global, trans-disciplinary research community, we champion self-directed, curious, flexible and socially engaged creative researchers. Our border-free, low-residency model of practice-led programmes and reputation attract an international community of creative researchers from diverse artistic and academic contexts and geographic locations. Create opportunities to expand, enhance and sustain your praxis in the world, beyond the walls of the academy.
