Practice-based doctorates include a practical component which is assessed as part of the final doctoral submission. While more common in disciplines such as the arts or creative writing, the value of practice-based research is becoming increasingly acknowledged across a wider range of discplines and faculties. This is new territory to some, bringing up questions as to how one structures a practice-based programme, how such doctoral research can be supported and supervised, and how it might be assessed. In this seminar, our panelists will share hands-on experience of supervising practice-based doctoral studies and managing practice-based programmes.

Professor David Medalie - Director of the Unit for Creative Writing and Professor in the Department of English, University of Pretoria
