Our Fine Art/Art History research degrees at Newcastle involve:

  • studio-based practice and research in Fine Art,
or
  • research in Art History.
You'll engage in independent practice and research, with research support from our academic supervisor team. This team can also include academic supervisors from other areas of the university when appropriate.

To complete a practice-led based PhD, you'll produce a body of creative practice, together with a written text between 20,000 and 40,000 words.

A solely text-based Fine Art or Art History PhD would entail a thesis of between 80,000 - 100,000 words.

Both forms of the PhD should show evidence of originality and be suitable for publication.

All our staff are practicing artists and art historians. We offer supervision in a wide range of contemporary art practices:

  • fine art
  • digital cultures
  • art history
As a PhD student you'll also be allocated office or studio space.

We'll support you to produce work and research that makes an important contribution to your field of practice, including:

  • painting
  • sculpture
  • digital, sound and time-based art
  • drawing
  • performance
  • photography
  • printmaking
  • installation
  • film/moving image/video
  • art writing
  • art history
We encourage you to take advantage of the research and practice expertise of our fine art staff. Please ensure your research proposal is compatible with our expertise by reviewing our academic staff research interests.

At the School of Arts and Cultures you can collaborate with theorists and practitioners from disciplines including:

  • music
  • digital media
  • museum and heritage studies
  • media and cultural studies
  • film practice
You'll benefit from the resources and opportunities available through the Institute for Creative Arts Practice. You'll also have access to the expertise within Culture Lab. This is a multi-user digital media facility that supports interdisciplinary research at the interface of art, digital cultures, computing, humanities and science.
