Art and Design (MRes)

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 cutting-edge, world-leading creative and transdisciplinary research, drawing upon the Arts, Sciences, Humanities and Philosophies.

The School encourages multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research collaborations. We support our students to work with other research disciplines, commercial and community sectors in society around the world and other 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.

Cardiff Met is ranked as the top post-1992 University in the UK for ‘world leading’ (4) or ‘internationally excellent’ (3) research in the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) (2014).
