Programme Approach 

The Master of Research is an ‘non taught’ programme, where alongside undertaking research under the direction of a dedicated supervisory team, students also participate in tailored research training delivered in week-long Seasonal Schools: 

Winter School provides with an introduction to research, where students will develop their research questions and map their research contexts, develop key skills in academic writing and composing a literature review; and explore practice-based research and the of artefacts; really the nuts and bolts to enable our students to hit the ground running with their projects.
