We warmly invite you to apply for admission to our 2024 PhD Creative Research course. We have several ways to support you through this process, including info sessions, a practice research crash course, pre-flight courses and one-to-one zoom sessions. We are excited to chat with you and explore your goals.
Trajectory
Your practice will entwine making, writing and reflection to become rigorous and original creative research—in short; your practice IS the research. Your research will culminate in the submission of an integrated thesis, which can include a presentation, exhibition, publication, reading, performance, screening, workshop and/or other forms of dissemination.
Programs
Our praxis-centered programs revolve around local and virtual residencies. Participate in presentations, symposia, fora, topical workshops, research seminars, exhibitions, screenings, cultural excursions, sound baths, listening sessions and other events to enrich your praxis. Past residencies have included Mexico City, Liverpool and New York, Berlin and Nairobi.
Practice PhD
Our Creative Research PhD is for everyone with a specific project or question whose practice embodies or essentially drives their research. Your tenure in the program will transform your practice and your awareness of what it can do, significantly contributing to knowledge and practice in your field and augmenting your credentials for academic positions, grants and inclusion in research projects. 2024 start with Liverpool residency: July 22-26.
Final Practice PhD admissions for 2024 is March 15. Apply.
