Graduate Studies at the School of Art, Design and Media
PhD in Art, Design and Media (Animation)


The School of Art, Design and Media's doctoral programme provides creative research opportunities in a wide spectrum of academic areas. Students are expected and encouraged to develop innovative ways of thinking, and to experiment and create in a range of media. This programme also acts as an incubator for the development and realization of original artistic and professional productions, including design, interactive media, film, animation and new art forms.

Through exploration of new ideas, creative practices and theories, the expectation is that students will transform the field. A collaborative of internationally recognized faculty members, visiting artists and scholars, offers a unique educational environment of international quality. Creative and production cooperation between faculty and students is encouraged and the development of worldwide co-production opportunities is fostered.
