If you are considering upgrading your qualifications in the creative arts and humanities, you will want to learn from the best in Australia and immerse yourself in the national cultural scene
Degrees offered
Researchers at the School of Art and Design pursue a wide range of projects across diverse disciplines, producing engaged and impactful practice that responds to key concerns of local, national and global significance. Research in the visual arts and design involves the development, testing and expansion of knowledge through creative practice. Our students develop experimental and analytical methodologies and learn to locate their work within specific historical, cultural and theoretical contexts. Students undertake a practice-led or practice-based project under the supervision of a panel of academic staff. The PhD and MPhil degrees include a coursework component designed to cultivate and strengthen research skills and methodologies.
Our national capital location means that students can benefit from collections, exhibitions, lectures and seminars at Australia’s national cultural institutions. Our ongoing relationships and networks may enable PhD students to participate in the National Industry PhD Program initiated by the Australian Government’s Department of Education.
