University of Tasmania, Australia

Description

The School of Visual & Performing Arts is able to provide supervision for PhD candidates. Supervision depends on the research project and can be accommodated either solely through SVPA or as a joint arrangement with another School. The thesis for a PhD in visual arts may be presented in one of two forms: (i) exhibition and exegesis, or (ii) theoretical thesis. Option (i) results from a studio-based enquiry project, and incorporates an exhibition of the studio work produced during the program and a supporting written exegesis. Option (ii) is a written document which conforms to norms for PhD theses in the humanities and social sciences.
