About
Overview
Transart Institute is reopening its long-established PhD programme. The PhD is offered in a 3-year accelerated mode in which you undertake a substantial public-facing project through engaging your creative practice with the doctoral research process. Bespoke academic mentorship is provided throughout the programme with advisors drawn from Transart's extensive faculty network. You may also invite external experts to join your advisory team.
Delivery & Location
The previously titled Low-Residency programmes are now offered entirely online, with a warm invitation for postgraduate researchers to attend a series of in-person Nexus Events held throughout the year in cities such as Berlin, London, Toronto and Venice for networking, presenting, collaborating and partnering with other researchers and organisations.
Research Areas
Transart Institute is seeking researchers and creative practitioners that can contribute to constellations of transdisciplinary research, including (but not limited to): Materialism & Ecological Praxis, Algorithmic & Generative Media, Somatics & Corporeality, Sonic Landscapes, Critical Urbanism & Spatial Praxis, Historiography & Speculative Futures, Radical Pedagogy & Institutional Praxis, Making Public, Crafting Media, Interfaces & Technologies, and Life Studies. A full list of the constellations and sub-specialisms is available on the website.
Community & Support
The collaborative, supportive environment includes monthly advisor and peer research group meetings and guest faculty-led group Intensive sessions, all held online and designed to encourage peer-to-peer engagement. You will remain an integral part of the ever-expanding community of researchers even after your formal engagement with Transart Institute ends.
Additional Programmes
Later this year, a new MRes in Creative Praxis (pending validation) will launch, and a 'by publication' PhD route will be offered in exceptional cases.
