Drama Dance and Performance PhD

A PhD is the highest academic award for which a student can be registered. This programme allows you to explore and pursue a research project built around a substantial piece of work, which has to show evidence of original contribution to knowledge.

A full-time PhD is a three-year programme of research and culminates in the production of a large-scale piece of written work in the form of a research thesis that should not normally exceed 80,000 words.

Alternatively in Drama, Theatre and Performance, it is possible to pursue a process of Practice Research where the submission includes material in other than written form and the written commentary is normally a minimum of 10,000 words.

The normal level of attainment required for entry is:

• A Master’s degree or an Honours degree (2:1 or above) or equivalent, in a discipline appropriate to the proposed programme to be followed, or
• appropriate research or professional experience the at postgraduate level, which has resulted in published work, written rep, orts or other appropriate evidence of accomplishment.
•  IELTS is 6.0 overall with no element lower than 5.5, or equivalent will be considered acceptable
