Why this programme课程定位

Research from creative practice.从创意实践出发的研究。

The hardest questions in design, media and communication are met by the people who lead the work — who rarely have the framework to research them at depth.设计、媒体与传播中最棘手的问题,往往落在引领工作的人身上——他们却少有框架去深入研究。

This doctorate gives senior practitioners the methods and supervision to turn a problem of practice into original, rigorous and defensible research, including through practice.本博士为资深从业者提供方法与导师指导,把实践问题转化为原创、严谨而经得起检验的研究——并可通过实践进行。

Senior designers, communicators, media and creative leaders who want to research a problem of practice at doctoral level.希望在博士层级研究实践问题的资深设计师、传播者,以及媒体与创意领导者。
