Overview
The Story Foundry By Publication (Distance Learning) degree at Bath Spa University is an international liberal arts PhD for established practitioners to integrate innovative forms of practice into critical narrative investigation.
Features
- The PhD by Publication differs from the regular Story Foundry PhD in that it's for practitioners who already have a substantial body of work and want to take their career to the next level by achieving academic accreditation.
- The programme encourages unique and diverse interdisciplinary approaches to research with an emphasis on narrative-based approaches in film, creative writing, immersive technology, science communication and performance.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- By adding an academic accreditation to your existing portfolio of work or career, you'll position yourself to take the next step, and open up further academic and industry opportunities.
- You'll be able to frame and articulate your practice and career within specialist contexts, such as situating your work within literary and storytelling traditions or within the context of social, economical and digital transformations.
- Rather than focusing narrowly on the discipline or subject, we'll support you to focus on the purpose of your research and we'll help you to produce a thesis that aligns with your career goals.
- This course is only available as a full-time PhD.
- However, highly focused candidates will be able to fit their programme of study around existing commitments.
