Doctor of Creative Arts

The Doctor of Creative Arts (DCA) is for students with a high level of professional experience in creative practice who wish to extend their art form within a scholarly context. The DCA is a challenging intellectual experience where you will produce a substantial body of work supported by a written exegesis of approximately 30,000 words. There is an integral relationship between creative work and exegesis. Research strengths in creative practice include music, theatre, performance, creative writing, visual arts, digital media and design. Applications from all these disciplines are encouraged, as well as any projects working in interdisciplinary forms. The DCA is practice-based; you will make a significant contribution to both your creative discipline and the area of inquiry within which the work is located. DCA candidates are also expected to actively contribute to the research culture of the University. You will be invited to participate in lectures and workshops on creative arts research practices and other relevant topics.
