The Doctor of Philosophy degree is conferred upon candidates who conduct rigorous critical analysis of an approved subject, producing autonomous and innovative insights that expand existing knowledge. Their work must feature a substantial research, creative, or analytical component with elements suitable for academic publication. Candidates are required to exhibit proficiency in research methodologies relevant to their discipline. The doctoral dissertation typically ranges from 40,000 to 80,000 words, varying by field of study and research focus. Our expertise encompasses diverse areas within dance, music, and performing arts. We foster research that bridges practical interdisciplinary approaches with contemporary theoretical frameworks. With our faculty comprising distinguished scholars and practitioners, the Bath School of Music and Performing Arts provides expert supervision for a broad spectrum of research inquiries in these artistic disciplines.
