This MPhil/PhD program in Creative Arts and Cultural Industries offers doctoral-level advanced training and research opportunities at the crossroads of artistic practice and the cultural economy. It specifically emphasizes Cultural and Creative Industries policy and practice, addressing themes like social justice in cultural work, curation practices, the political dimensions of cultural production, independent cultural economies, and ethical economic models.
Students can leverage the School of Arts' extensive knowledge in music, visual arts, and film production while engaging with critical discussions about the creative economy. The program includes foundational research methodology training followed by a structured progression path. Many SOAS research students conduct fieldwork in their study regions, and through the institution's strong networks with academic and governmental organizations across Asia and Africa, participants may access valuable personal connections and professional introductions.
