the arts profession, based on a broad understanding of the theories<br />
which underpin contemporary practices, performances and<br />
exhibitions of modern art.<br />
The Doctor of Philosophy is subject to <strong>University</strong>-wide<br />
regulations pertaining to questions such as course duration; thesis<br />
submission; and research ethics.<br />
For their practical work, students will design, direct or produce a<br />
major arts project, culminating in a performance, installation or<br />
exhibition. Working in a contemporary arts environment, in<br />
collaboration with other students from other arts disciplines,<br />
students will be asked to research, devise and produce new works<br />
of art or approaches to arts practice. It is expected that this<br />
activity will be a contemporary expression of arts practice and<br />
could frequently be an exploratory work spanning and integrating<br />
art forms. Students will combine the analytical, creative and<br />
technical experiences developed throughout the course. Major<br />
project work will be evaluated by a panel of three staff, with at<br />
least two of the panel being external to the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
Students will also be asked to provide a critical exegesis (20,000<br />
to 30,000 words) which will involve contextualising the practical<br />
activity within an appropriate theoretical framework, a reflection<br />
of the aims of the practical work and a consideration of the<br />
projects in terms of others working within the same area.<br />

• A Master of Arts in a discipline relevant to the<br />
proposed research;<br />

Consideration will also be given to applicants with other relevant<br />
