‘Practice’ is variously formulated: some departments offer research degrees via a ‘project’ rather than ‘humanities’ model; others refer to performance as research; others to practice as research; and still others to practice-based research. These definitions and the structures by which postgraduate students can pursue their research at individual institutions are continually evolving. This list, therefore, is simply a snapshot of what information is publicly available.Please ensure that you contact the HEI of your choice for the most complete and up-to-date guidelines.
