Practice-Based Degree Option in Cultural Studies 2 The much-anticipated practice-based degree option in cultural studies was created and approved. In prac- tice-based research in cultural studies, questions relevant to theoretical discussions and models in the field of cultural studies are investigated partly by means of a creative or arts-based practice. Practice is seen as being an integral part of the research process and a supplemental means through which knowledge is created and disseminated. The creative outcomes of the research, such as a play, a film, a concert, recital, body of works or an exhibition, are assessed as part of the student’s MA, MPhil, or PhD degree along with a written component. The practical and written components of practice-based degrees form a coherent whole. Both components must address the research question(s) and especially at the PhD level, communicate advances in knowledge. The written component provides the theoretical and conceptual framework for critical assessment and review; the practical component allows for an exploration of the identified issues in a tangible form, for example, a work of art.
