• The Ph.D. program encourages individual, practice-led research projects that explore aspects of the art of children’s book illustration from the perspective of high-level practice.
  • The University looks for research proposals that are informed by personal practice and demonstrate an ambition to examine an area or aspect of children’s book illustration through a combination of creative and theoretical inquiry. Using their personal creative practice as a research tool, they will produce distinctive contributions to the growing knowledge pool in this area.
  • All these subject-specific studies will be enhanced and supported by our University-wide training sessions, where students will gain important research expertise in areas like ethics, presentations, intellectual property, and digital scholarship. They will also have access to many exhibition and conference opportunities.
  • At Cambridge School of Art, you’ll be part of a vibrant and growing community of researchers at the Ph.D. level. The University provides various research forums that accentuate the discursive and interdisciplinary nature of research, including research clusters that hold regular seminars and informal presentations for postgraduate and research students, as well the Centre for Children's Book Studies.
