UWTSD Home-Study With Us-Professional Doctorates- Art and Design (Prof Doc)

Art and Design (Prof Doc)

The Professional Doctorate in Art and Design is designed to create a deep understanding of you and your place and perception of the world of Art and Design in all of its forms and representation.

To this end you need to have some basic experience working in the industry — we look for 2 to 5 years as being a good starting point.

You need this time to give you the basis for reflection. We ask you to reflect on certain areas of your life so far, areas such as how do you learn? What do you think constitutes knowledge?

We also give you the opportunity to try a range of different qualitative research methodology to find the best fit.

This Professional Doctorate is designed to help you make use of all you have learned in life up to this point. It helps you reflect on the past experiences professional and personal.

We take a very global view of design and so are equally happy for areas of design from China and South East Asia, India and South America to be the subject of your reflection and your research.

We are passionate about how you can reimagine how communication, media, art and design works within your professional practice.

Additional Costs

Our students have access to a diverse range of equipment and resources which in most cases are sufficient to complete their programme of study. We provide the basic materials necessary for students to develop their practical work within our extensive workshop and studio facilities.

However, it is likely that art and design students will incur some additional costs to extend their investigation of their personal practice. For example, purchasing their own specialised materials and equipment, joining in optional study trips, and printing.

Students are expected to bring their own personal art and design equipment with them when they commence the course. We can advise on the correct equipment needed for your programme of studies and signpost appropriate suppliers if you wish to purchase essential items before or during your studies.

A basic ‘art and design kit’ will cost approximately £100 but you may well already have much of the equipment required so check with us first. Also, although we have extensive dedicated digital design studios (PC and MAC) for you to undertake your coursework you may wish to bring your own digital devices, again check with us first before making a purchase.
