Applications are welcomed in any subject area of Fine Art in which we are able to offer supervision by appropriate staff. We are particularly interested in attracting research students who can benefit from not only the specific research and practice expertise of individual members of staff within fine art, but also from the extraordinary range of resources and opportunities for interdisciplinary and collaborative research available across the University as a whole.
Your project may be practice-led, historical or theoretical, and will be supported by expert supervision in the context of our strong practice-based, art-historical and cross-disciplinary research activities. We encourage you to exhibit your work in appropriate venues and attend and make presentations at our regular postgraduate seminars, which aim to enhance research skills and encourage intellectual and practical exchange between academic staff, our visiting artists and students.
Our Humanities and Social Sciences Graduate School also provides expert training in professional/key skills, research techniques and supports personal development.
