Course content
The MRes (A&D), Master of Research in Art & Design is ideal for students who want to prepare for doctoral level research in Art & Design (PhD or Professional Doctorate) or to develop a range of advanced creative research skills to enhance their art or design practice or career, nationally and internationally.
The programme is suitable for students with little or no background experience of research from any field, as well as those with previous experience of professional and/or academic research in Art and Design or a related field.
Our seminar-based teaching is combined with online delivery and assessment. This means that the programme can be studied flexibly on campus and/or from a remote location. Students may elect to spend all or some of their time studying on campus or from a remote location, and can swap between modes with ease.
Cardiff School of Art and Design has creative research at its heart. It is home to a range of centres and groups engaged in world-leading creative and interdisciplinary research, drawing upon the Arts, Sciences, Humanities and Philosophies.
You may wish to locate your research project within one of these groups or to develop an independent enquiry.
Multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research collaborations are encouraged. We support our students to work with other research disciplines, commercial and community sectors in society around the world, as well as research centres across the wider University.
We will work with you to put together a workable and attractive research proposal for further research and study. We will also help you to connect with other researchers around the world.
