PhD in Art and Design Practices

This third-cycle doctoral programme on art and design practices is run by the Department of Arts and Communication in the school covering arts, communication and cultural studies. It is taught in English on the Nicosia and Limassol campuses and lasts 3 years of full-time study, with part-time study also possible. The programme is research oriented, combining practice-based research with theoretical research. It aims to create new and innovative knowledge in art and design through scientific and artistic methods, and to support the vision of the department and the university and their place in the region. Candidates are expected to develop transferable skills including communication, presentation, teamwork, leadership, self-direction and time management. The degree is intended to advance careers across art and design and open senior roles within the creative economy, and some graduates may move into research roles or university teaching. Admissions are handled by a three-member Doctoral Program Committee appointed by the Department Council.
