The PhD Arts Practice is a four year, structured PhD programme, designed to meet the needs of professional performing artists who wish to engage in academic and practice-based reflection on their own artistic practice. The programme involves a combination of taught modules and independent research.

 “As a music practitioner, finding the balance between academia and performance can be an arduous task in the search for further study. The Irish World Academy has provided this opportunity in the form of the PhD Arts Practice and has embraced the mutli-faceted world of performing arts, merging it with a structured academic programme and has produced a platform from which the artist has a voice both through the medium of practice and research.”

Dr Sharon Lyons, PhD Arts Practice Graduate
