Course Description
The Fine Art research programme is for appropriately qualified artists who would like to explore and develop their understanding of their established studio practice, and in so doing to contribute to the wider cultural context through original critical work. You can register either for research based on studio practice and a written element, or for research by written thesis only. However, the generative and reflexive activity of practice is central to the Department's research culture, and it sees the first category of research as reflecting its academic strengths. In this case, studio practice is seen as primary. It must exemplify and locate the ideas developed in conjunction with the written part of the thesis. At research level, the Department's aim is to support reflection upon its central concern with practice, both within the contexts of contemporary art and within the academic environment. As a research student, you should be concerned to contextualise your studio practice in relation to other cultural production. Empirical research is understood as essential to innovative practice. You will need to record the studio practice which you undertake as part of your thesis, and retainable documentation of the studio practice - slides, photographs, video, and other appropriate visual material - must form part of your final submission. We provide full-time practice-based research students with studio accommodation within the postgraduate centre; we expect part-time students to have their own studio, which is subject to the same conditions as for MFA students.

With your application you include a statement of your research project outlining your research topic and methodology, together with a short bibliography.
