The DPhil course is a 3-4 year research degree where students undertake a research project with academic supervision. At the end of the degree, students produce a thesis containing the results of their research which they defend in a final exam with two assessors called a 'viva'. #DPhil #ResearchDegree #AcademicResearch #PhDLife #HigherEducation #ResearchJourney #ThesisDefense #Viva #DoctoralStudies #AcademicSupervision #FutureResearchers #ResearchCommunity #PostgraduateStudies #PhDStudents #ResearchExcellence

How can we reimagine PhDs in the arts and humanities? A thought-provoking perspective from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. One of the interesting set of questions is: “Can we do more to explore and explain portfolio PhDs, discontinuous experiences which can produce the equivalent of a PhD by publication but played out over projects? Or PhDs in policy and social innovation work, especially those co-created with communities?” https://lnkd.in/g-vm3XjS

Now here are some really exciting PhD topics to get your ‘teeth stuck into’ if the Medieval period is your thing!? Not that it’s mine, by a long shot (I’m a generalist - have to be as a curator) but at present I’m very interested in Medieval Lapidaries and the magic and medicine of precious and semi precious gemstones, following some research which i had to undertake recently to successfully acquire a Medieval Seal Ring which was set with a Roman (2nd-1st Century BC carved intaglio). So medieval magic would be my choice! Which would you choose and why?

Yo any one here done a phd or in academia? I have my heart set on Goldsmiths for my doctorate but as it appears to be falling apart I'm considering other options too (The Courtauld, Edinburgh, Camberwell and SOAS are currently attractive options-I can't afford the Royal College sadly). My thesis is about the role that art has in memorialising and testifying to women's experience of sexual violence in war time (with an emphasis on colonised Eastern Asia). What are the most important things to consider do pple think when choosing an institution? Ie. teaching opportunities, scholarships, funding, research output, reputation etc. Any advice or suggestions appreciated as I have a month to decide. Cheers!!

It's always good to note that your work is making impact and is being used by the fraternity... #research #researchers #academic #academics #academia #journal #journals #phd #phdlife #doctoral #doctorate #postdoc #postdoctoral
