Doctor Of Philosophy (integrated) in Victoria University, Australia

Doctor Of Philosophy (integrated) in Victoria University

Overview

Learn best-practice research methods before you begin an academic thesis, or major creative project supported by original research.

Our integrated program allows graduates without sufficient research experience to undertake a PhD in Creative Arts.

Integrated PhD in Creative Arts program

We’ll give you intensive coaching in ethical research techniques for a year. After passing the coursework and thesis with a 70% average, you’ll begin your own original research, finishing your PhD in the standard four years.

We offer an advanced research program for our doctoral degree in the arts, across our research focus areas.

The PhD in Creative Arts includes:

• producing a creative work informed by substantial research
• an accompanying analytical written component or exegesis (thesis by creative project)
• a component of required coursework, usually undertaken in the first year
• participation in both formal and informal learning opportunities.

You'll learn to present your research in a wide variety of contexts such as:

• refereed academic outlets appropriate to your field (e.g. ranked journals, academic conferences, book chapters, monographs)
• public presentation to broader audiences.

Our PhD in Creative Arts will give you the opportunity to undertake advanced study in your chosen discipline, if you are a high-achieving graduate in:
