Course Overview

The Story Foundry Ph.D. places narrative-based practice at the center of the research process. It enables individuals with specific artistic or scientific practices to re-engage with critical/narrative writing in new and imaginative ways. This opens up a vast amount of possibility for new knowledge to occur across disciplines. You'll develop a Ph.D. that has the potential to impact areas of professional practice, the arts and industry, as well as the academic field.

Our interdisciplinary research environment will provide you with the space to develop an innovative approach to research that would not be possible in academic courses which focus on just one discipline.

General Eligibility

For this course, you'll need a Master's level qualification or equivalent industry experience. In particular, TRACE welcomes proposals and applications from a wide range of disciplines that embed writing into their creative practice. This can include (but is not limited to) creative writing, filmmaking, storytelling, spoken word, performing arts, multi-media, curatorial practice, and pedagogical practice.
