Course overview

The Integrated PhD is designed to prepare you for doctoral-level study by providing a year of taught modules and focused supervision before you move on to your PhD research. The programme is suitable for all those wishing to engage in research but should appeal to those who have the basis of a research project but require additional support to develop this into a feasible PhD study. During Year 1, in addition to completing taught modules, students will also enrol on a year-long non-credit-bearing Independent Study Module. As a research student, you'll be part of a growing doctoral research environment and will study alongside students from Northern Ireland and abroad; we supervise students undertaking research in; •The design and delivery of cultural policy and the interpretation of these processes by arts managers and policy makers •The attachment of social policy areas to cultural policy •The social processes of cultural production within institutional settings •Access, participation and audience development in the arts •Issues of equality and diversity •Internationalisation and transnational exchange •Reception of art and culture •Institutional, historical and social frameworks for the making and displaying of art and heritage •Impact of arts and cultural work We are also interested in projects developed through interdisciplinary approaches and supervision teams: •The management and governance of cultural sectors and institutions •Sustainability and relevance of business models for arts management •The impact of new technologies on arts management and cultural policymaking. Research students are encouraged to play a full and active role in relation to the wide range of research activities undertaken within the School and there are many resources available]
