This programme is specifically designed for graduates who want to prepare for doctoral study either by integrating creative practice with theoretical or historical work, or by focusing on traditional theoretical research.

One third of your work will be taught modules, and two thirds will explore a continuous overarching research project. Students will undertake four taught modules in Research Methods, Critical Thinking, Contemporary Issues in the Arts and consultancy Skills and Practice.

You will have strong supervisor support throughout the course and will be involved in regular group seminars during the first two academic terms.
