Through the combined work of the many
talented and dedicated Professors, Readers and
Researchers within our CCW Graduate School,
we are able to offer an exciting and rigorous experience
for our research degree students. Our
research activities are frequently grounded in
the portfolio of art and design subjects represented
by our taught Masters programmes. They
offer new and challenging ways of thinking
about how specific disciplines can share common
concerns and questions. Issues surrounding
the practice, and the theoretical and historical contexts
of Fine Art, Design, Conservation and
Theatre are developed and interrogated through
a focused re search approach of contemporary
relevance. At MPhil and PhD level, we are particularly
interested in research proposals that
address individually, collectively or in tandem
the four current Gradu ate School themes of
Social Engagement, Envi ronment, Identities and
Technologies. The themes reflect a growing
collective awareness amongst our research communities
for identifying some of the more
urgent social, political, economic and cultural
agendas of our time and the need to address
them through innovative and creative responses.
We are also particularly interested in PhD
research proposals relating to our growing work
in the area of theatre, particu larly the investigation
and redefinition of the limits of performance,
costume design and scenographic practice.
ENtrY rEQUirEMENtS
We consider a Masters degree in an appropriate
subject to be particularly valuable in preparing
candidates for a research degree. However, in
certain circumstances where there is evidence of
professional standing, the minimum requirement
is an upper second-class Honours degree or
equivalent academic professional qualification.
