The Masters by Research (MRes) Creative Arts course is a flexible research-based course designed to provide graduates with a foundation for a career in research, the public/private sector, the arts or academia (i.e. PhD studies). The purpose is to offer high quality postgraduate training in methods and practice of research and relevant transferable skills that offer a unique learning experience to advance knowledge within your specialist area of the arts or humanities.
The MRes offers a foundation of advanced knowledge, specialist research skills and transferable attributes to prepare for academic and professional research careers. It seeks to develop reflexive independent researchers who can operate at the forefront of their academic discipline and of professional practice. The content and approach of the curriculum has a strong emphasis on independent scholarship and professional development. You will develop a keen understanding of research processes and methodologies, resulting in a research proposal and a reflection on your professional development and career ambitions.
The MRes Creative Arts allows integration with the wider community of arts and humanities research-orientated postgraduate students at Birmingham City University, ensuring a thriving culture of learning and investigation. The award explicitly prepares students for further doctoral study in their area of expertise, which is developed throughout their studies, culminating in an independent research project, either by dissertation or by practice and supported by expert supervision from leading researchers. Students are encouraged to organise and extend their learning in a way that suits their individual ambitions and needs.
What's covered in this course?
This course gives you the flexibility to choose your own specialist area to focus on within the Creative Arts, from either a practice or academic perspective. The course provides specialist research methods training to enable you to complete a major independent project.
Broadly, we can accommodate projects in the following areas:
- Art and Design
- English and Creative Writing
- Fashion and Textiles
- Film
- Jewellery
- Media
You will be taught by experts from across the Creative Arts whose research is internationally excellent. You will work alongside other Creative Arts postgraduate research students and join a research cluster relevant to your discipline.
