Postgraduate programmes by practice

What is a PGR programme by practice?

Practice research can be defined as ‘an umbrella term that describes all manners of research where practice is the significant method of research conveyed in a research output’ (Bulley and Şahin 2021). 

In a PGR programme by practice, the research output is the thesis and/or alternative assessment format (the latter normally in the form of a portfolio of practice) and will include a research narrative, which articulates the research inquiry that has emerged in practice.
