Re: [Yasmin_discussions] to PhD or not to PhD

Hello all,

I am now in the first 6 month's of a PhD program in the School of Design at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne. This is not a PhD art practice degree-- but a program that is based on the old research model. That means- my current art work is not part of the requirements- I am analyzing and creating theory from some of my work-- and a lot of other sources. The requirement is a 70,000 to 80,000 word literature review-- plus the research. I would like to know what some programs are requiring in the 'Art practice ' PhD.-- and also wondering what the Science world thinks of the art practice model. So, since there are scientists here- maybe we can have a discussion about this.
