Art and Creative Practices PhD

The University of Brighton has enjoyed an international-reputation for its creative arts disciplines and practice-led research for many decades and was among the pioneering institutions for practice-based PhD study. We offer an inspiring and rewarding environment for postgraduate research, where innovation and knowledge is acquired and shared through creativity and arts-orientated understanding. Characterised by a blend of scholarship, knowledge exchange, traditional and cutting-edge practices, our research has been influential in collaborative developments with diverse communities and partners locally, nationally and internationally. It is our belief that knowledge generated through the development of creative and critical practice enhances and shapes every aspect of our contemporary culture and future lives.
