HI There!!!!

Thank you really very much for reading this email, your advices will be very very precious to me!

The main question is: Does the academic career determined by the subject/field studied or by the department of the Ph. d programme ? I will better explain:

I have been offered a Ph. d place at the Brazilian Department of a great university in Uk, my background is in Fine Art (Ba and Ma) and my research proposal is focused on Brazilian contemporary music and art.
will I be a specialist in art or Brazilian studies?
The problem is that I do not want to work in Anthropology, sociology or specifically in Brazilian studies, I would keep on going with my artistic career and later work in a Creative/Artistic University.

Do you think that a Creative University will prefer colleagues who hold a PhD in music and art instead of whom hold a PhD in Brazilian studies even with a research in Art and Music?


The subject I am investigating is really specific and focused on Brazilian Art and  music that's why the Brazilian Department at that Uni accepted me immediately.

Even in terms of research, publications and academic credibility  may I hold a PhD in Brazilian studies and pursue a career as Art/music specialist not focused in South America studies?
I heard that in terms of reputation is better to pursue a linear academic career such as BA MA and PhD in the same field...  is it true?


Another university have been offered me a PhD in Music as well. Does it ensure the same quality of studying?
and the last question apart being a researcher or a lecturer which range of jobs may I do with a PhD in Brazilian studies?

I look forward to hearing from you soon,

Thank you so much for your advice!!!!!!!!!
