Practice-based research degrees have become increasingly prevalent in art and design disciplines over the last ten years. This approach involves investigating a topic through hands-on creative work supplemented by a written component. The balance between these elements differs for each study. While the connection between practical and written work may take various forms, a clear conceptual and organizational relationship must be demonstrated between both project components.
