Narrative Non-Fiction: Practice as Research - PhD

at University of Kent

A first or 2.1 honours degree, usually in a relevant humanities subject, plus a postgraduate qualification at Masters level.

Or, a substantial record of professional achievement as a music/audio arts practitioner, plus a postgraduate qualification at Master's level. 

In both cases, an acceptable research proposal will be needed.

In certain circumstances, we will consider candidates who have not followed a conventional education path but who may have relevant experience in the industry. These cases are assessed individually by the Director of Graduate Studies.

All applicants are considered on an individual basis and additional qualifications, professional qualifications and relevant experience may also be taken into account when considering applications.
