University of Hertfordshire (UK), School of Creative Arts
Professional Doctorate in Design and Professional Doctorate in Fine Art
Places are now available on the new Professional Doctorates of DDes and DFA at the University of Hertfordshire. The Professional Doctorates are aimed at academic staff in Architecture, Design and Fine Art, broadly understood, in universities and institutes of higher education worldwide. The DDes and DFA are structured doctorates that can be undertaken part-time using a virtual research environment for the delivery of study materials and supervision. It is therefore ideal for candidates based overseas. The courses directly address the international debate concerning the nature of research in creative disciplines and will equip successful candidates with a range of conceptual and practical tools with which to demonstrate leadership in this debate in their own fields.
The courses begin with a series of study and research skills, which provide a thorough grounding in the philosophical and theoretical issues surrounding notions of practice-led research and the relationship between academic and professional values. Once this phase has been completed, the candidate then undertakes an individual supervised research project in his or her own professional discipline. After successfully completing the doctorate the candidate will have the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue independent research and to contribute to the development of institutional and national structures for research in creative areas in their home countries.
