The thesis comprises more than 50% (up to 75%) of creative practice and less than 50% (to a minimum of 25%) of accompanying written text or exegesis, which illuminates / interprets / contextualises the creative practice. The research occurs through the practice which  informs methodology, content, context and conceptual frameworks.

The creative practice itself is not normally an examinable component of the thesis even if the creative process may be a major part of the methodology. A documentation of the practice becomes part of the thesis but not the practice itself. The word length is normally the same as a written thesis.

These are interesting definitions. Are they from QUT? Can you please post a link to the document containing them?

thanks,
