Experience visual imagery from fresh perspectives while shaping a promising future through education. Explore diverse subjects extensively, spanning from medieval art and architecture to contemporary Hollywood filmmaking. Doctoral candidates undertake an autonomous research initiative with support from an advisory team. The maximum enrollment duration prior to thesis submission is 4 years for full-time students or 7 years for part-time/distance learners. Typically, active research (encompassing experiments, lab work, field studies, and data gathering) requires 3-3.5 years full-time or 6-6.5 years part-time/distance learning. Following active research, students may apply for a writing-up period lasting up to 12 months. Theses should generally not surpass 80,000 words and must offer novel scholarly contributions with publishable-quality work. Final degree conferral requires successful defense of the thesis in an oral viva voce examination.
